Heh, more of this shit.

Remember, the only reason we can still watch the highly influential 1922 vampire movie Nosferatu today is because some people didn’t destroy all their copies despite a court saying they had to.

DISOBEY DESTRUCTION ORDERS.

COPY ALL THE THINGS.

Yeah, YouTube was better when it was a bunch of amateur cat videos.

I always knew that funding the internet using ads wasn’t sustainable in the long run.

You can add literally anything, and all Steam does is launch the executable you specify. And maybe take screenshots if you use the overlay.

Valve could actually look through the games people have added and do some sort of major crackdown, but for better or worse they seem to have left this alone. Still, though, I’d consider it a vulnerability, and I also recommend against using Steam because Steam is basically DRM. (Yes, this varies by game and can be argued over. But it still definitely tries to lock you into using it, one way or another.)

Hot take: the internet was better when it was simpler like that.

Ah, I see.

Well torrenting is also P2P but people generally recommend VPNs for that.

If it has Denuvo it’s basically asking “please, get a pirated version if you want this, because the official version sucks”.

I would hope that’s the case, but as I mentioned in another comment, I’ve actually seen a case where a Denuvo-addled game was cracked, then the cracked version stopped working at some point (seemingly after a certain calendar date or a certain time after installation, because it definitely wasn’t based on in-game progress), necessitating an updated crack.

The game is Shining Resonance Refrain, if you’re curious.

Maybe the new crack actually succeeds at really defeating the DRM? Who knows. (Though I also remember it saying something like you gotta skip a certain cutscene or else it’ll crash. But, let’s say we excuse that.)

Yeah, I agree, I can understand wanting higher resolutions but there are diminishing returns and even 1 GB for a half-hour episode is pretty absurd.

Plus, you can’t seed what you can’t keep.

I did a quick check of zlib (I think) and while I could find the core rulebook I didn’t see anything else. However, I don’t know the thing OP is looking for so maybe it goes by different names that I’m not aware of.

Yeah this is the kind of crap that encourages people to pirate simply to spite them.
