Yes you are an “asshole” for stealing but also fuck these companies are so shit you shouldn’t care.
In a pure ethical debate its wrong but on a practical level I think its fine. Steam has a 2hr no questions asked refund policy which I feel is reasonable and so I don’t pirate unless I want to play a game and not compensate the people who made it.
Freezing doing what? I’ve got modern hardware and I’m running nobara and I don’t get any issues except my Taskbar freezes on Wayland. On x11 I have no issues
I guess it shows how aware kids are these days and how intune with world news they are. As adults on the internet it’s normal for us to read and participate in discussions for these topics but I can’t imagine learning about this as a child.
The activism I see in the younger generations is one of the few drivers that gives me hope we will move towards a better future.
I like sandbox games and I end up getting so much Value. For factorio I got it for $40 and so every 1000 hours I buy a copy and gift it to someone. Since they have no dlc or any other way to support. Also do the same with rimworld and age of empires 3 DE the main games I have lots of hours in. For league of legends I have 1000s of hours but I won’t give them a fucken cent cause I hate the game.
The thing i like most about pc is the wide array of games that require different specs. I have a pretty powerful pc but I could easily entertain myself with the lowest end pc.
The worst thing about jagex is their management. They are so out of touch and only see runescape as something to squeeze money from. They should be happy they have generated as much revenue as they have from such an old game. Last I checked it was pulling in hundreds of millions in profit.
