    I don’t get it, you can have a DRM and online activation on a CD, and a DRM free digital copy.

    Also you come about a bit snarky.

      It’s not meant to be snarky. I suppose I just get frustrated at those who are willing to move towards a system where you don’t own a thing. I’m good, I can do without but I worry for the next gen tolerating bullshit from corps who have monopolised so much.

        Fair enough!

        I loved the cartridge era, just plug it in and switch your console on. Great for sharing too.

        But I don’t get it with a, I guess, multi 100GB game, that will contain anti copy stuff, need patches, be made with DLC in mind and so on.

        For me it’s just hipsterism or the need for some “feelgood”, as it doesn’t fix the problem with ownership.

        I remember when the CD could be installed 3 times, and that’s it. I prefer a DRM free copy BTW, on my drive, what’s your thoughts about that?

        I’m also a bit curious about all the downvoting 🤷🏻‍♀️ have we stopped discussing (this is not aimed at you of course)?
