    I don’t understand folks that pirate games. I don’t think there’s a particular service issue currently between all the platforms and sales

    Capcom puts invasive DRM on all of their games now, and retroactively added it after people bought said games. All of the Borderlands games had spyware retroactively added over the past yeat spyware. And Ubisoft can’t be trusted to not take away games from people who paid for them.

      Right. But again, that’s on the individual for buying it for loads of cash upon release. The writing was on the wall for all these shitty AAA producing companies for years, yet the preorder FOMO train never stopped.

      I agree about piracy/cracks for stuff that you already bought, but the publisher broke it in some way. But these are the exception, not the norm.
