Except there's nothing ad hominem about it, claiming you don't know what you're talking about is reasonable. That's what ignorant means.
Here's an article claiming "victory" over stealing games from the public.
"Making piracy and pre-owned games problems of the past
10 Years Ago This Month...
Uhh you're too ignorant to participate in this discussion. This has been going on since 1997 with Ultima online, the reason we have DRM and steam to begin with is because the battle was won 20 years ago by fools who told the game industry they were incapable of perceiving the agenda.
The long...
Technically only if you are counting RTS, otherwise Warcraft "never ended" because world of warcraft is still going strong to this day. Last expansion was 2018.
Either way games spying on everyone and being forced online when you're paying for the game is redacted. They are just stealing...
We said the same about people buying mmo and steam infected half-life 2 in 2004 20 years ago.
The war on game ownership began very early in 1997 with ultima online, that was the the first shot in the long war to remove software from customers PC's.
Here's the game industry declaring victory...
You're just making excuses for corporate theft of software. Note that we are paying money, if they were giving the game away for free that would be different. But if we are buying a game we get the thing we are paying for.
Note that everyone arguing against can only do so because the...
It is, when steam dropped in 2004 no one wanted it, it was forced into the software.
Steam is a piece of corporate malware. The internet has undermined the market, before the internet existed companies were forced to give us complete software. Operating systems and games. So yes selling...
It is, the internet allowed game companies to steal games and the masses fell all over themselves to buy fraudulently coded games. There's no reason for any piece of software to require a second computer. Having part of the game you are paying for missing and held hostage on a remote computer...
Man you haven't been paying attention to the last 20 years of gaming.
1997 - Electronic arts as a part of the greater silicon valley company war on software ownership rebrands PC RPG's as mmo's, takes the next ultima and simply calls it "ultima online" and then ultima rpg's you own on the pc...
There is you're basically allowing companies to undermine your basic rights to own the redacted you pay for, and literally helping these companies defraud the world. There is no reason for any piece of software to be split between two machines. To think anandtech of 20 years ago is now filled...
It would help both of you actually had any valid arguments at all which none of you do, aka many of our favourite franchises and modern abuses like p2w, micro-transactions and lootboxes are direct results of your behaviors.
So yeah anyone who cares about the hobby has seen the internet blow up...
Stealing the files for the game so it doesn't function, very simple. AKA many games not including the server and mulitplayer functionality within the game executables. Anyone with a brain would call that stealing basic game functions and trapping them on the other side of the internet. Notice...
That doesn't justify stealing peoples software by abusing their technological illiteracy, selling them incomplete games by removing functionality like LAN, or inserting stupid matchmaking on a remote server somewhere that you control and removing their privacy.
The way games are coded are...
You don't seem to grasp that there is no market in gaming, the average person on our planet is too computer illiterate to make any kind of rational free market decision, not only that you as a consumer do not have any market power when the computer illiterate masses keep shovelling money to...
You don't seem to understand son anything about privacy or owning your own personal computer. MMO's were the battering ram to undermine software ownership on the personal computer. When clueless people like you appeared and started mindlessly giving money to these companies stealing computer...
