Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 May Be Getting Banned in Saudi Arabia

  Piracy is the first thing that comes to my mind when a game is georestriced or the performance is lowered due to copy protection stuff. I don’t even feel bad about it. The company wouldn’t have made any money from me whatsoever.

    True. This isn’t a moral issue, they will not earn money from me either way since i cannot buy the game here, andI still will pirate it if the ban goes through (it most likely will) but i lose out on stuff like achievements and ease of downloading etc.

    At this point my best bet is to pray they either remove the scene or KSA just turns a blind eye.

      I do hope you get to play and enjoy the game, but no way should the developer compromise on their vision of the game just to comply with a fucked-up morality regulation.

        Yeah sorry, i don’t agree at all with it due to me being much more progressive than others here, but a shit ton of stuff is banned here and KCD would be the last straw for me :(

    This sounds like a great time for someone who knows how to pirate games to post a really good guide. Safety is important when sidestepping dipshit politicians.

      Go-to #1 is definitely the r/piracy megathread. My personal #2 is a 2gb/s external SSD and a dedicated exe-downloading laptop.
