I go for full libraries. This would never work for me! Haha

I believe the comment I replied to changed what it said. I recall something about making it a law that DRM should be removed after a reasonable time period of 1 to 2 years.
I agree that DRM sucks. I didn’t agree that it should be law to remove DRM a year or two after release.
I don’t think many people had “a thing” for mermaids though. It was just another human creature with boobs. I don’t think most people thought about it any deeper than that
Considering companies can easily sell new copies of games after 2 years, I’d still be fine with a longer period of time. I want developers to make money.
I’ve seen a Kickstarter that would open source their game after 2 years if they raised $4.4 million or so. They didn’t reach that goal, but they open sourced the previous game in the series after about 10 years.
For just removing DRM, I think somewhere between 2 and 10 years is the sweet spot. I mean, I’ve still got 10-year old games on my list I’d be willing to buy, haha
They were on sale!!!
Your comment reminded me of the time I tried to connect my new phone number to my accounts, but had trouble with Amazon and AirBnB because the last guy with the number forgot to update his accounts.
Amazon told me it’d have to delete the old account before allowing me to connect my new number.
That’s not even the worst one though.
AirBnB gave me no other option than to log in to the other guy’s account through nothing but the SMS recovery code (which came to my phone since I have his old number now), starting the account recovery process from within his account, and then removing the phone number from his account.
After logging out (and closing the private browsing window and turning off the VPN), I was then able to link the phone number to my account. (And yes, I tried everything else – from within my account, it told me “Sorry, this number is linked to another account”)
Never had a problem with AirBnB or the new phone number since then though!
The problem is caused by a combination of extraversion and low social intelligence.
Extraversion isn’t the problem, and I didn’t get the sense that OP was saying all extraverted people are like this. But the problem is undoubtedly related to the boss’ extraversion
Easily Buu! The fat Majin version was the best.
I remember Launch in early DBZ, I think, but it felt like they just forgot about her, lol
Yes and no and yes.
Kind of like “Redditors”. 4Chan people have organized things under the banner of “Anonymous”. Did all of them participate? No. But we still say Russia is invading Ukraine when it’s not all Russians.
Some of them even broke off into another organized group called Kiwi Farms, I think. I believe they were the ones who thought that Anonymous wasn’t bullying people enough.
whatever a free market decides it should be used for
People say that AIs don’t “think” or “decide” things, but I think it’s better to personify an AI/LLM than “a free market”, lol
“Physical copies” is a big ask, considering they would also have to be selling the hardware to run those games.
To your credit, they aren’t actually selling most of their back catalog anymore, since their e-shops that sold games for the WiiU/3DS are closed down, and with them, the Virtual Console died. Now we’ve only got a subscription-based library to play a much more limited selection of old games.
Either way, it’s not Nintendo’s fault you pirate games. You want to play old games, and you don’t want to pay too much money for them, so you pirate them. Let’s be real.
It still makes me sad that Bruce Dickenson was Pro-Brexit.
Who did Israel endorse?
Implying that game cases end up in the trash… especially when they’re usually used to hold games these days?
You need to see more game collections! Haha
People have been deriding digital-only games for years and years now. While a stupid F2P game isn’t the best thing to put on a disc, I can see why people might want it.
Sounds similar to where I live. The busybodies can be annoying, and fraud (etc.) can be a problem. But I won’t let perfect be the enemy of good to my opinion.
HOAs are rare where I live, but we often have property management that oversees multiple units to take care of and fund common elements.
They’re not all perfect, but most aren’t nearly as bad as what I’ve heard about HOAs.
Media can discuss or examine an issue without directly showing it. That commenter wasn’t defending it or saying they want to see it.
There are Western shows that discuss drug use and rape without having to show it on screen.
If the emulator can’t run games from archive files, then I store what I play unarchived, and what I don’t play stays as archived as it was.
Unless they’re small files, then I’d probably back then up extracted. But I haven’t had a case where the files were small enough for me to store extracted but the emulator couldn’t run from archives.
