It’s pirated because it’s not through official channels and has the DRM removed, including the requirement for the 2K launcher.

As for the rest of your question, so long as I’ve understood that mess properly, it’s the buyer’s problem when companies start taking away the games we’ve paid for becauae they’re hiding behind a license despite never disclosing the purchase had an expiry date or conveniently left out what that date is as time of purchase.

Control freaks laying out blank canvases for themselves and taking away your consumer rights one cut at a time. As a legitimate owner of the Mafia games on PC, I can report having a significantly better experience with pirated copies since they don’t require their terrible launcher.

Such a shame. Easily the most enjoyable game of it’s genre, in my opinion. I’m not sure I’d want to see a direct sequel but I’d be more than happy to see another story in the world, possibly where new and old characters cross paths.

Hells to the yes

Very much so. The piercings make them extra delicious.

Yeah, I’d love to know how they’re getting this business plan legit when even grey key sites can’t even match those prices.

It used to be called Bundle Stars though I dare say most would have been more familiar with Humble Bundle until the Fanatical rebranding in 2017.

And likely runs better if my experiences with Cemu and the Wii U version of BOTW running better than native Switch are any indication.

You can’t delete what was already destroyed!

It’s not exactly difficult to have more content than those services when they keep fucking around with exclusivity bullshit.

The only one I care to use, at least.

Your taste in anime easily makes you the most attractive woman on Lemmy.

Fraud is a pretty good word too.

InZoi looks really good to me though Paralives is looking good too.

And as Frost points out, he’s a massive hypocrite.

You know that’s not the majority of anime, right?

It’s the sort of good that gives your feelings a mighty kick in the nards

You very much missed the point of my comment. After the “professional” response the public got when leaving very justified negative feedback on Starfield, I now don’t trust any comment supporting Gamebryo to not be a Bethesda employee. Nor was I advocating for shifting to Unreal, it was the next person who brought up a different engine which I said I’d prefer since it’s reliable. I don’t really care what engine the next Fallout is made with, for example, so long as it isn’t made in Gamebryo by a bunch of hacks.

Personally, I’d rather have games that “just work” like the ones on UE5. I guess I’m weird that way.

Pretty much. They’ve done it so many times now that it can’t even be considered a bet to expect it at the release of one of their games.
