Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

You're stuck doing tedious annoying repetitive tasks, or you can get a flamethrower.

That premise, while cute, hasn't aged well for me. The ever-rising number of chanlords shooting up their schools (and elder chanlords murder-suiciding their own families) because no one would blow them behind the bleachers (or because the wife left him or the kids won't call anymore) sours the premise of "wouldn't it be funny to murder everyone that mildly annoyed you" white guy dudebro humor for me long ago.

"Yo its a video game"

Yeah, and that changes nothing about why I don't like it. You're giving a lazy thought terminating cliche here.

EDIT: Christ, you activated a long dormant alt account just to stan for your edgy video game? That's just sad.

This is my only lemmy account and I made it before reddit killed 3rd party apps as I quit going on there. Going through my post history to try and judge me is something weird to do though

Rising from dormancy while otherwise doing nothing with that account, just to announce how mad you are that your edgy game wasn't to my liking is weirder to me.

"Yo its just an opinion"
