no? if theres no need to upgrade machine you just dont. most enterprise do because that shit is not supported anymore, so if they are internet enabled they dont have much choice.

Thank you! Lemmy seems to believe everything digital is free forever. There are real costs associated with maintaining infrastructure.

then dont fucking call it “buying”

Bypassing these tends to be a criminal offense.

lol no, nobody is in jail for ripping their stuff or even straight up torrenting it.

If you want to keep your data forever, buy a Blu-Ray.

which will degrade and become unusable in what? 20 years?

After that, you replace the PC anyway.

you really dont have to though

oh noooooo

anyway…

im good thanks

why? they have more than enough money to do so.

I’m not in just tired to deal with whiny bitches

Jesus fucking christ what a bunch of drama queens

??

Is actually great since it forces you to learn which saves you much more time in the long run.

But most people can’t see past their nose.

Edit

Can’t believe somebody got offended by this…

Let’s see, popularised always online drm, loot boxes, gambling in video games, supported money laundering, established the 30% cut and more.

Unironically all that is wrong with modern gaming.

And hey, epic sucks ass but they haven’t damaged the gaming industry as much as steam, not even close.

Still nothing compared to what valve did. People here are either young or naive.

Just another trap to get you hooked.

Sure but then don’t pretend there is anything righteous about it, it’s just rumours until proven.

You don’t need to research anything to finish Bg3. You don’t need to understand all the things to enjoy a game. You just put it on easy and enjoy.

But really destiny and overwatch complicated??? Those games are for children

Ah yes that’s the only possible reason right? Or maybe…idk might sound crazy but maybe They changed their policies for new accounts??

How about thinking before calling somebody a liar?

The information that nobody has proven in a court of law? That’s for barbarians
