I used to have time to do that. Go find the pirated versions, or the cracks, fiddle with it for hours and then finally play. Not to mention the time and money to buy, build, and configure a decent gaming system. I don’t really care for the massively online versions because in my opinion online gaming is just so competitive and toxic so that’s not really an issue for me. All of this combined is why I typically had veered toward consoles. It was just easier. But since I gave up on Xbox and now Sony is pulling this shit, I’m seriously concerned about what options are even available at all, let alone unenshittified versions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] daychilde@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago I'm too lazy to pirate games, but also, I rarely get a new game. I have my stuff on Steam, or like in the case of Simutrans, I just download it directly (although we're on Steam these days lol - for free). For me, it's about the media I watch. Which........ is still not all that much. heh. When I have downloaded a cracked game, most of the time these days it's pretty easy. At worst, install, run crack, bam. But it might depend on the game. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FatVegan@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago I think the main problem is that the amount of people who couldn't care less overweight, always. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mattyroses@lemmy.today 9 points 1 month ago no, that's a competitive market. Capitalism historically has usually sought to undermine them - because the only metric of capitalism is return to current holders of capital. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MangoCats@feddit.it 7 points 1 month ago if you do something people don’t like they are free to choose a product where they get what they want That's ideal capitalism. I find ideal capitalism to be about as real as the concept of "fair" is in adult life. permalink fedilink source parent
