Fair enough. You'll come a cropper though if it requires an authentication check. Regardless of your device works. I think going consoleless and having emulators to play games is the better route. Unfortunately the newer games aren't the same as retro consoles.
If they require patches and don't have them they might not work.
I know you’re right, it’s a Sisyphean task to push back against the tides of corporate greed, but I still will push and save my old school games for archival purposes for my grandchildren, and I will hope that they appreciate my death by the big corporate boulder, was for their gaming freedom.
I wouldn't say that. Steam has done a pretty remarkable job. I think having an offline storage for games and an emulator that can play them is the only way to fight back against them.
As time goes on likely we will start to build or port Game's. Consoles will be obsolete and it will make emulation much easier. Only time will tell though.
Fight that hard fight
I don't think you can tell me what I can and can't do. But I get your meaning. I have used gog but it rarely has games that can be run through GeForce.
I think steam is better than consoles. But yes drm bad. Why I advocated for emulation as a way to maintain games
