Earlier this year, I got a game I liked on steam. Pretty much 3d Rimworld. After playing for 20 hours over a few weeks, I sporadically started getting errors about me having "no hardware activations" left for the game, and how I should wait 24 hours. I have never installed it on any other machine.

It is so very silly that a pirated copy would be the more seamless experience.

I remember when their DRM was just telling you that you'd go to HELL if you pirated it.

After how id treated my man Mick Gordon, I'm torrenting cracked versions of their games here on out - pulling the patient gamer card.

Fuck the management at id. Just another corporate machine.

Aside from screwing Linux users, they're also screwing AMD users with forced ray-tracing + broken FSR, and I'd imagine there's also a lot of overlap there.

Even amd users are suffering like Linux users Microsoft got no chill 💀

I have FSR working (Win10+ AMD 7900XTX), but it's obvious that they have screwed the pooch in optimization.

I just finished Doom: Eternal yesterday before the Dark Ages came out and it ran fully maxed out at 1440p @ 240 FPS without upscaling and was gorgeous.

Dark Ages looks pretty much the same as Eternal, but runs at 120-144 FPS.

That's still absolutely playable but how did it lose 50% performance in an IDTech game?
