Yeah, I guess it's good to keep in mind that most of these sales are probably teenagers. Either they ask for Modern Warfare, or their parents just buy it for them without asking because it's the popular one.

Looks like the normal price to me?
Christ, gamers have horrible taste.
I feel like a lot of these unions (at least the ones that I see in headlines) are forming at companies that are already crashing and burning..... like IGN for example. I mean, it's still a good thing to unionize, but if the company is well on its way to bankruptcy, I don't think unionizing will stop that. If anything, unionizers will just get laid off first.
Why is it not mainlined into Proton, you mean? It uses proprietary (not open source) components. Proton is a fully open source project, and therefore cannot incorporate GE's tweaks. But GE is free to continue making his special fork, and it's a great option for most users that don't mind using closed source software.
Oh, pirating movies/TV/music is a totally different story, the risk of a virus is near zero if you're careful, because you're not running random .exe's. I said that I was done pirating video games, not that I was done pirating completely. 😄
Yeah we'll only know for sure after it comes out, and after we see what the pirates are able to do. Pirating online-only games is also possible, it's just more difficult so it's less common. Maybe the pirates will wait until the single player mode launches.
That makes me nervous. We keep seeing evidence, again and again, that "anonymized" data is actually pretty easy to de-anonymize if you have enough of it. So I'm really not a fan of companies selling "anonymized" user data unless they transparently specify EXACTLY what data they're selling.
I'll stick with Plex for now because it's so easy for others to use, but the moment I smell smoke, I'm heading for the door. I've already got Jellyfin installed and connected to my library, I just haven't bothered to set up a reverse proxy for remote access yet.
Maybe, but when people talk about "cracking" a video game, they mean removing the telemetry parts of the .exe that might phone home and tattle on you. So often a cracked version of a game will have most online features removed. If it's a game with a single-player campaign, it might still be totally playable.
Woah, you can edit the link in a post? That's cool, didn't know that.
