What happened to owning something you've paid for forever?
These companies need to realize if they keep fucking over their paying customer, it'll be more convenient for people to just pirate their product. At least FitGirl won't knock on my door and demand me to delete his repack off my hard disk just because I haven't visited his site in a while
Yar har fiddly dee. Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free.
As "wrong" as stealing is, I find it more wrong that companies can keep fucking us over like this without reprimand. Triple A games are becoming more and more difficult to justify the new $70 price tag.
I haven't bought a triple A game brand new since like 2014 or something. I wait until they have some sort of sale on them first. Literally didn't buy Cyberpunk 2077 until very recently when they finally knocked it down to $30 a few weeks ago. It actually shocked me to walk by the games isle recently and see that triple A titles including yearly sports games are like $80 now. Crazy IMO. I might go back to reading books.
$30 is still too much. I have my alarm set to $10.
Btw, thre are lots of free eBooks too. I'm currently in the Jenkinsverse.
80 dollars!? I thought it just went to 70!
FitGirl only demands you to prostrate before her and to be her sex slave.
