    As well as Denuvo please also make it rely on Windows-only bugs so that we can be extra sure that those dirty Linux users are kept away, and it’s not fair that foreigners get to enjoy things in their own language so make sure there’s no localization for other countries. And I’d rather not have to know that disabled people can also play so make sure there’s none of that “accessibility” crap in there slowing things down. And I heard that telemetry makes everything better so please make sure it records everything we do and reports it all back to headquarters, that really makes games better. Also it’d be nice if there were more ads to keep us entertained while it loads. Okay thanks. You guys are doing a great job. — Signed, a perfectly normal user

    “I paid $70 on console and they got it on PC for free!”

    Hold off buying games for a while and you’ll be able to get them ALL for free on your new gaming PC!

    (How many games would they have to not buy? 15? 20?)

      15 games for $70 are enough to save $1000, which is definitely enough for a good gaming PC. After buying a PS5 and the cheapest PS Plus subscription, paid yearly (cause that’s the cheapest option per month) for a little more than 8 years, you’re also at $1000. With the most expensive PS Plus option it would only take a little more than 4 years.

    The “it’s not fair we pay for these games for them to then be pirated” says it all, it’s not about the company becoming bankrupt because of piracy, it’s because they don’t want to feel bad once they have been scammed with a half made game that others have gotten for free. Because a half made game should be worthless

      What a strange mentality. When I pay for things I want, I’m generally happy to support the creator. If others can’t, why would I be upset if they get the product for free? It means more people can also enjoy the thing I like.

      It’s such a crab bucket mentality, I couldn’t imagine living life being constantly bitter.

        Some people are really weird when it comes to things being “fair.” I forget the details but I remember a study where given the option of getting $100 and a stranger getting $200, a good chunk of people would rather neither of them get anything.
