Lifetime VPN sub. Makes it a one-time purchase.

I recommend Fastvpn, they have great support for just 15$ a year

If you live in a country that requires a vpn to torrent, you can probably afford video games.

This is always such a stupid take. Just force fully encrypted traffic in your torrent client... No VPN necessary.

Or, and hear me out... you could stop treating entertainment as a right. Stealing food and necessities? I'll help you carry your prize. But stealing entertainment isn't a flex. You aren't helping to drive cost down, and every person that does it is just another reason for companies to put Denuvo in their games. You aren't "owed" entertainment. Don't steal it. Find something else to do. Get an old console and a shit ton of games for next to nothing and simultaneously help out the second hand game economy.

What it comes down to is the price of modern entertainment isn't just $60 for the game. It's that plus all of the extra bullshit you have to do. If you don't want to pay that, fine, no one is forcing you to buy the games, and you don't need them to survive. Your silent protest against the gaming industry isn't some valiant effort to rob from the rich and give to the poor. It's theft. Call it that. You aren't fucking batman; you are a person who steals entertainment because you have to have the latest thing. You aren't fighting capitalism, you are part of it, and you are making it worse for everyone else.
