Time to plug in my PS1 and wipe my old Crash Bandicoot 2 CD with ethanol

On the one hand, my SD2SNES has enough games to last a lifetime.

On the other hand, the CRT uses so much electricity I would never turn it in on an apocalypse.

and that's why they say piracy is a service issue

if the game you purchase can't be played without an internet connection, either always online or a once-in-a-while check in, but the game you pirate can always be played regardless of the status of your internet connection . . . one of those is clearly the better service

for example, if my internet connection is up, I'll play an MMO. when it goes out, I'd like to play Skyrim, but oops, I haven't loaded the game in the last 30 days and now it wants to check in with the Steam server . . . but it can't because the internet is out. so i never get to play the game i bought - what good did it do me to purchase a legit version of Skyrim?

I know I'll try to play any EA game from the last 15 years offline that should be fine right

Oh

Spending one's last days in a bunker doing whatever the hell you want (and could make happen in the bunker)... There are definitely worse ways to go.

Fun fact:
A great number of games Epic has been giving away over the years is completely DRM-free. Go to PCGamingWiki and look up your games

yeah ironically epic is probably a bigger drm free store than gog lol

(obviously not every game is drm free but most of them are)

And there's been some big titles, too. Control, Death Stranding, Tomb Raider, The Batman Arkham games, just to name a few

My man forgot the mod chip.

(Except it's a PC, not a console, so my joke makes less sense...)

Unironically this would be so cool. Time to learn how to crack games, a way more fun pastime than just playing them
