Why did PC gamers give up game ownership rights, not only without a fight but with a smile?
>>736149625Because the idea of owning software is shit that that the UN came up with in the 80s, before then your ability own any software was restricted only by your ability to copy it.
Because they work for computer companiesIt’s part of the Reddit Circle of Shills, they only promote what they are paid to, they aren’t actually fans of anything, most are bots even, not even humans with the ability to enjoy media
>>736149625PC Gamers have always the biggest cucks on the gaming hobby and genuinely hate video games.While doing the typical outrage shit.
>>736149625Fuck off you retarded zoomer. Nobody ever owned PC software that had a licence key, even going back to the 90's.The instant you damaged the cellophane wrap on a game you couldn't even return it because the licence key is what mattered. If you truely care about removing DRM from games, that option is still readily available. People pay because Steam offers a better service than piracy.
>>736149625Why don't you buy music CDs and movie blue rays anymore?
Why would I ever buy from GOG when pirates get the same experience for free?
>>736149819Movie blurays are excellent as rips rarely preserve the bitrate of a 4k transfer. Also I can resell the movie.
>>736149625I don't understand the question
>>736149625gemibu
>>736149625Because we didn't. That was consolecattle. PCGODS still own all our games since they can't be taken from us.
>>736149819People still buy Blu-ray’s all the time retard
Op: gets his paid for internet resold to himself again
>>736149625because gamers are goycattle
Name 100 games I can't download and retain on cold storage with cracks to install when I want?
>>736149969Why would you return the shopping cart when they always find their way back to the line?
>>736150049>gets his paid for internet resold to himself againesl
>>736149783>People pay because Steam offers a better service than piracy.This is the biggest reason why it's so successful. Because when your options are>pay $2 to get a video game with minimal risk and fussor>sift through mountains of keyloggers, viruses, bitcoin miners and 'p to try and pirate the game and get it for freeMost people will just cough up the money and save themselves the headache.
>>736149625Why are you poor?
>>73615021770 bucks richer actually :)
>>736150161Service issue. Carts should navigate back on their own these days.
>>736150260You're not $70 richer when you didn't have the $70 to spend.
>>736150195It's always funny when ESLs see a sentence structure they haven't encountered yet, think there's an error and then expose themselves by calling it ESL.
>>736149625because the corpos kept pushing it for so long that gerneration Z and later don't know anything else. Same reason why people defend shit like release day season passes, it's all they've ever known.
>>736149819You do not own media written on a blu-ray>>736150196>pay $2 to get a video game with minimal risk and fussTrue. >sift through mountains of keyloggers, viruses, bitcoin miners and 'p to try and pirate the game.This is not the experience you have when pirating.Also, when you buy on steam you know that you will have access to the game no matter what. When you pay for spotify you lose access to songs constantly, with steam even delisted games stay in your library
>>736150364>Spend no money>Own productCry me a river, Mr. Goldstein
>>736150261Homeless people run off with shopping carts even when there’s no ten thousand dollar tech inside them. Your idea wouldn’t last an afternoon.
>>736150365nta but paid-for should be hyphenated
>>736150683True, but it's still more than legible.
>>736150196>sift through mountains of keyloggers, viruses, bitcoin miners and 'p to try and pirate the game and get it for freeThat's not really an issue.Most modern platforms that "defeat" piracy do so by combining activity with advertisement and point-of-purchase. It's liminal marketing, the barrier towards continuing to buyfag with the same platform is drastically lowered and the average person nowadays has enough dopamine burnout that they can't muster the actual energy to overcome the minor barrier to piracy.Of course when the platform starts bleeding users due to complacency and tightening the thumbscrews, the platform will resume complaining about piracy.
>>736149625It was getting taken away no matter what, steam was the best thing on offer.
>>736149625your post assumes pc gamers made a break with a healthy, viable industry and that was not the case. publishers like EA who had snatched up most of the big pc devs and were making a clean break towards consoles, and retail was following suit. increasingly the only offerings on store shelves were low hanging fruit critical mass titles like wow, sims, and civ. valve investing fully in the future of pc exclusives was better than drowning.
>>736150654>Homeless people Thankfully, I'm not destitute so homeless people aren't a concern.>even when there’s no ten thousand dollar tech inside them.Aren't there massive displays out in public these days? Why aren't they all being stolen?>Your idea wouldn’t last an afternoon.The carts would just drive themselves back you retard lmao
>>736151068>The carts would just drive themselves back you retard lmaoexpensive headache that would probably increase liability if anything.
>>736151204Only if you have concerns about homeless people because you live in a shithole (Doesn't apply to me)Duely noted every other retort was ignored. I accept your concession.
>>736151259im not that guy. self driving carts would be a really stupid, expensive idea.
>>736151465Yeah, I'd pretend to be someone else and forget to reply as 2 personalities if I was competely BTFO as well.
>>736149969>click one of the 72 wrong download buttons while trying to pirate a game>your computer is now part of a russian botnet mining bitcoin forevermore
>>736152113>download using a linux VM>validate MD5 hash of the installer before copying to hostNot a problem for me, I'm not a retard.
>>736151068>The carts would just drive themselves back you retard lmaoEven niggers and junkies would realize in 5 minutes that you can just flip them over and they won’t be self driving anywhere. You are dumber than these "people".
>>736152293>all that tech>think there wouldn't be trackingYou're the one dumber than homeless niggers lmao
>Buy Windows XP game>money stolen
>>736149625cause steamcucks are npcs
>>736152362You think thieves haven’t been removing trackers from stolen gear for decades now? Brown or retarded?
are consolefags low iq or what>games are software>full game ownership is as simple as cracking the DRM>pc chads NEVER gave up cracking, see hypervisor war with shitnuvo
>>736150580>spend no money>post on smartphone in Brazil>don't play games>try to oilbrighten /v/ into thinking you're better offOkay, Paolo.
>>736152529They'd just take a cart from somewhere that didn't have a tracker you colosal retard.
Rothschild is still seething I see.
>>736152256New troonix user here. How do you validate the hash?
>>736149969When I discovered that you can literally pirate a GOG game and it still attaches to your Galaxy account and gives you auto-updates, it ruined all motivation I had to buy from that store.
>>736154842you would know if you had spent 10 seconds googling it instead of immediately begging to be spoonfed like a child. you are too stupid for linux. stay on windows with the rest of the NPC niggercattle.
I keep all of my games on hdds thoiugh ????
>>736152362Ok they have trackers. Who goes and gets them back? Police aren't going to care.
>>736149625>Still running windows 7>Still running steamDon't know what you are talking about. But i am sure you can run your ps2\3 games in your ps4\5 right?
>>736149625>PC gamers >give up game ownership rightsConsolecucks are so funny
Because you never really had them.>but I had CD!Still, you were accepting EULA that would grant you license, it was always like that. Now you have installation files or client to download said files, aside from carrier nothing changed. Being banned from virtual store is the same as being banned from normal store, you have GOG for offline installation files and as long as you download game via Steam, it stays here, being accessible offline the same - if they can remotely disable your access to said game (via online drm or other methods), they could as well disable your CD game just the same.
>>736156648Fun fact - you can set Steam to offline and move it's entire folder along with installed games, it will work the same, regardless of said game having Steamworks implanted or not. While it's technically not drm-free completely, it's still close to.
>>736154620>P Cucks thank it's a point in Gaben's favor that he's so disgustingly jewish he make the Rothschild envious
This is what ownership means to consolecucks:>Not being able to back up your games>Not being able to modify your games>Not being able to modify saves in most cases>Being able to get chump change on the resell market (forfeit le ownership)>Pretty plastic!!
