I understand his sentiment but only now mentioning that something is broken? Something has been broken for a very long while already.
Only now bigger companies are feeling the results of it. However, very unfortunately also smaller companies, developers/ indie-developers.


Yeah, Denuvo DRM is definitely still a thing. In fact, they recently announced that they’re suing the anonymous person who is cracking their DRM. They rather sue a person or group that they don’t even know than actually getting their DRM better. Funny, isn’t it?
I know piracy does not have Denuvo; that’s why I love piracy as well. I mentioned Denuvo DRM because people who purchase the games legally still have to deal with it. Certainly, piracy is not risk-free, but if you follow the right guides, use your common sense, and have knowledge regarding technology, the risk is very minimal.


Honestly, I disagree. I will speak for myself, but I can stay busy, have a good time while pirating games, and keep the money for myself (perhaps spend it on something else). Sales or not, there’s still the whole issue with Denuvo DRM (at least for me) and sales are not what they used to be. I have had Steam for years too and only bought a few games and Wallpaper Engine. Not everyone keeps purchasing games on Steam and never play them.
I just think that piracy is the better option nowadays, economically (keeping money for yourself), ownership of the game(s), and not having to deal with Denuvo DRM.


If we do not own the games when we purchase them, then piracy is not stealing. Don’t want to give us ownership when we pay for it, okay. Pirate everything. Jailbreak the PlayStation, download the games, and put them on an HDD/SSD, whatever, and play them. That way, you own the game and can play whenever you want.
That said, I don’t think this sentiment of Sony is new. I think many companies have been doing the “you just get a license but don’t own the thing you purchased” thing for a long time. Sony is just currently the company that is getting the most attention for it.
It is why I always say, “Get a PC, learn to pirate everything, and purchase the software and games from independent developers (indies).”. That way, you own the software and the games while also supporting the developers that deserve it.
This way, you don’t have to worry about the whole “you don’t own the product” thing, keep money in your pocket, which is economically wiser in today’s times, and you can support the developers that deserve it.


The DLC made combat a bit better though.
I never really finished the story because, could really get used to the combat. Wish it was smoother. Can we access the DLC content without finishing the story and how’s the combat in the DLC (since you mentioned it got a bit better)?


I liked the game, its atmosphere, the cult stuff but disliked how to combat played out. Felt… little clunky. Still good for couple of months though.


Proton is Israel’s bitch.
Wait, what? They are dealing/ having contracts with Israel companies or its government?


Thanks! I’m definitely going to get the new Mario Kart World and debating whether to get either Zelda Tears of the Kingdom or the new Zelda Ocarina of Time.


Wait, what? I did not expect The Netherlands to sell these piece of shit stuff. I had hoped, it would be banned/ prohibited in The Netherlands. It should be.


Breath of the Wild, I’m at the last boss battle and then waiting for Switch 2.


for mental health reasons
Hope you got better, aye. Take as long as you need. Your health is much more important than posting.


Good job
Thank you! Appreciate it.


You do you, man. Stay agitated on the internet. I’ll watch and enjoy content that I like, lol.


How am I defending someone when I’m pirating it? Money does not flow to the person.
I’m not defending my position, I’m just surprised on how authoritively the left sudden get while blaming the right for being authoritarian. Especially in a Piracy community, where people pirate and download whatever they want without caring about… authority or opinions most of the time.
Then people get all squishy, emotionally and insult. Yeah, that will help the statement someone is trying to make.
Honestly, I don’t even care anymore. I’ll watch what I want to watch. The internet gives me a internet-headache lol. Reddit, Lemmy, whatever platform all the same crap with a different name.
Want to call me slurs or hateful names? Go ahead, you are a stranger on the internet.


Another Hexbear person comment. Really shows the attitude of the community, lol!


That’s a tough one!
In no particular order;


Ok, lol.

I’m actually curious about this and if it will be available on the known ways.
