As was designed by the people who actually wrote those laws, the lobbyists. More profitable cars to sell as America moves farther and farther away from reality with car prices.

Are you paid by Google? That's what we're trying to escape by using Firefox.

Dogma was awesome too. Not every movie has to be the best movie ever to hold a place in your heart, this reads really cynical

I'm on Ubuntu which is supposed to be at the least nerdy. Still hella nerdy, I just want to make memes and play games lol

Yeah that part's a confusing mess. I moved to Linux on my gaming PC a year ago and have been pleasantly surprised multiple times but not with installers!

This is what I see suggested every time this meme is reposted, so I guess that's the right answer

Many games launch with improper implementations, causing problems. Is not denuvos fault but it is one more thing to go wrong

Resources used for implementing denuvo and funds for ongoing support take away from the game development itself creating the possibility of less of a game. Denuvo is a subscription, so companies have to keep paying for it. Now they have to charge more for DLC to recover those costs. In both situations, the gamers suffer more than the companies.

DRM in general means you can't own that thing. Steam is easily cracked if steam went out of business but firaxis or denuvo? If they go under without patching the game then it's dead forever.

I don't know if anyone has done a study on denuvos effect on game sales, but there have been many studies on piracy itself that show not only does piracy not steal sales, it helps promote good games through word of mouth and the demo->purchase pipeline where users want online features after trying the game. Bad games don't get any boost but i think civ7 is safe there.

On mbin you'll still see them, just in a separate section. And that's only my perspective too, communities you join might dislike my methods entirely.
