I pirated more in the past than I do now. Big difference is that I can now afford it to pay for games.
Currently I’m more a retro games pirate. Older games are pretty much harmless to pirate.
You pirate with the intention to buy. IMO you’re one of the best possible pirates. A lot of people might never purchase a game unless it’s really necessary for online play or something.
Yes then it’s not for you. Game pass is more for the active players that play a lot of games. If you at least play and finish a game each month, even each 2 months then it’s simply cheaper to have Game Pass instead of buying the games (if you’re going to play new AAA on release day)
I am planning to buy a laptop around ~900$ (equivalent) budget. But I am not sure to recognize good deals. I currently have my eyes locked on a gigabyte one with 3060/11400H....

Never never really was the best in graphical quality. But if the DLSS 3.5 part is real. It can definitely be way better than the Switch is now and more likely on par with Series S
So the game is done and could be released earlier. But just let people give some FOMO and pay extra so they can play “sooner”.
Sometimes I just wish games were like in the past. They released a full game, get some patches to improve. Throw in some extras for free if you’re lucky. And DLC were actual expansion packs that could practically be a whole new game.
Glad this is finally happening. Playing on and off since Switch release and I really want to play the game in higher quality. Finally can try it on PC or PS4 without losing progress
Ubisoft is allowed to stream CoD? But Ubi doesn’t have a streaming service? Or is CoD allowed to be on Ubi+ which enables Ubi+ subscribers to play the games through GFN / Luna?
Ubisoft was a great Stadia supporter. I’m kinda hoping they will get hold of the Stadia tech somehow and start their own streaming service.
Those cards still hold value and the game is made to be played with multiple of the same cards. But you’re right, trading cards are a gamble.
You pay for a mystery pack
You either get good or bad cards
You’ll keep buying to get better stuff
It has all the checks.
But I think it’s important you don’t need to buy booster packs to enjoy the game. I can buy multiple pre-made decks and I know exactly what I get and still can enjoy the game.
Some games (now not talking about FIFA) even rely on loot boxes to make the game more enjoyable. You even can get timed stuff you can only use an X amount of days and poof… it’s gone.
Also digital purchases might be considered “too easy”. With cards you at least get something physical.
Not sure though… all I personally think is that micro transactions and loot boxes are killing the fun and quality of games.
Few years ago there was Netflix and Film1 in our country and an ISP with TV that also had a movie service.
That was about it.
Now there’s Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, SkyShowtime, Apple TV+ and ViaPlay added to it.
It’s impossible to have have just 1 and view what you want. Ofcourse you can keep on switching but some of them but it’s all just making it more complicated.
Solution? Pirate it. One source and everything available even stuff that isn’t on any on those services.
Also some movies can’t be bought digital.
IMO all movies and series should be available on any platform and let the streaming service decide if they want to have it in their portfolio. Only the “originals” should be locked to a platform to keep stuff unique.
And make every damn movie and series available for purchase.
It’s free, optional IAP to get stuff faster but not in a P2W way. Everything is possible to get free if you sink in time and/or be social and trade/sell stuff for premium currency so you still can buy stuff you want.
Game is loaded with content. Steep learning curve but when the game ‘clicks’ you’re sucked in. There is a story that will make you go “wtf?” and that part is widely known as the “you completed the 30 hour tutorial. Now the game begins”.
It’s playable solo, recently added cross play which makes playing with others more easy and there are parts that are public where you can interact with everyone there. That makes it feel as an MMO.
The devs are active on Lemmy warframe@dormi.zone is the official Lemmy page since they moved from Reddit.
Not really… paid items aren’t stronger than free items.
For example to get a new Warframe (your armor/character with unique abilities)
Free:
Find/grind Blueprints for head, chest and legs
Find components to build the parts (building takes time like 12h real time, you don’t need to stay online/play the game)
build Warframe (takes 24h real time)
Paid:
Buy blueprints
Find components to build parts
Buy away the wait time
Build Warframe
Buy away the wait time
End result:
Exactly the same Warframe. You only need to grind less and wait less.
Every item/weapon/Warframe needs to be mastered. Either paid or free you’ll need to play missions to level up your gear so you can attach mods to make it stronger. Mods are found in game or can be bought. Mods also need to be levelled up by gameplay to be better.
So in the end you only get the base stuff faster but everyone is required to play to get better.
Als some paid items are simply for more inventory space like extra weapon/Warframe slots. That way you can keep some more stuff instead of dumping/selling it to make room for new stuff.
To level up in Warframe it’s necessary to keep using stuff you haven’t used before. When you stay on your own gear you’ll never really progress. But leveling up with new gear enables you to power up older gear as well.
And since it’s mostly PvE you don’t lose or miss out on paying players. If you solo stuff or are playing with friends then you’re pretty much never in contact with a paid player.
If you play with random players then it is possible to have a higher skilled (either free or paid) player in your team that might make specific missions easier to do. But still that’s totally up to you.
From all the F2P out there I personally believe Warframe to be the best game that handles their premium paid stuff without hurting free players.
The game seems complex, in the beginning it feel overwhelming. But don’t be afraid to ask for help and search the Warframe wiki. The community is very friendly and the Wiki will guide you as well.

If you like MMO games with good singleplayer gameplay you can’t miss with ESO. Base game covers a lot. The expansion packs will be even more.
And unlike a lot of MMO games. No monthly charges necessary but possible. If you decide to sub to ESO+ you get access to expansion stuff except the lastest one and you won’t get access to the classes that got introduced in the expansions.
But… you’ll only need to buy the lastest expansion collection set to get all of that. The upgrade pack is only for people who got the previous expansions already.
AITAH for pirating games before buying them?
Nowadays, the absolute vast majority of games that I play are shit tbh....
