Re:Pirating

[tepples]

You're the one who sold out to Microsoft and bought an Xbox to begin with.

Which platform for in-person multiplayer video gaming doesn't involve selling out?

you can't punish the good

[circletimessquare]

for what the bad do. no security restriction will stop the pirate, it will only frustrate the nonpirate, and turn them into pirates

if you lock me down geographically, if you put a sunset clause in my hardware, if i experience bugs emanating from your security faults, if my media is inaccessible in certain times/ places... all you do is convince me that the pirate material is more attractive, because it has no such restrictions

eventually, the question becomes, what am i paying for?

i'm paying for more restrictions. and that's it

the other guy, who is paying nothing, is getting the same material as me, without any restrictions

its a no brainer
