  • What do you mean? Administrators/liquidators will have an entire list of assets owned by the bankrupt company.

    They will be looking for a buyer to take on the whole company (assets and liabilities) or sell off the assets to cover liabilities.

    Those boxes are still owned, they didn’t magically become fair game because the company owning them went bankrupt.

    If people advertise that they stole one of these boxes, they become fair game to be pursued by the liquidators/administrators or any entity buying the ownership of them.








  • This is the answer. If you don’t like live service don’t buy live service games. If the majority have the same opinion there won’t be profit in it.

    Games publishers are businesses and they want to make money.

    Now in reality I think they make more money from those that are buying microtransactions and so long as that makes them more money than selling a plain single player game, it’s a no brainer they’ll keep making the.





  • On public WiFi I just vpn into my home network. The issue with public WiFi is that it can be sniffed by anyone in range since there is generally no encryption.

    Although pretty much everything we do is over tls these days, and DoH helps protect against even dns sniffing. There’s still at least some risk to working in the clear over a public WiFi network. At least in information gathering, what bank you use, etc.

    But, there’s no real benefit in using a paid vpn over one you own unless you’re downloading illegal content, want to watch another Netflix region, or are in a country with heavy Internet monitoring/filtering.
