Buy the game through whichever means you like supporting the developer on, pirate the game to run it without the DRM bulshit

How do you play helldiver's 2 with my friends?

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I mean, yeah, you can find exceptions to any rule if you look for them

Dismissing major releases with drm isn't the victory you think it is. Linux is getting better it's almost there.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I dont know what the hell you are talking about dude. If the game has shitty drm but a pirated version doesnt, you can buy the game (or dont if you dont care about giving developers money) and then pirate it to get around that. If the game doesnt have a pirated version that skips the DRM, which is pretty much the ENTIRETY of online only games due to their nature, then yeah, you have to either accept the drm or not play it. I was merely countering your point that you can't pirate AND support devs. I have no idea why you are bringing up games that you straight up cannot pirate. Lastly, being a slave to major releases is a choice. Personally I only touch about 1 every 5 years, because the vast majority of new video game experiences come from indie games nowadays, so if drm is someones line in the sand, avoiding a new release because it has it isnt the loss you think it is to the person who drew that line
