Really scary to see where the industry is headed! I’ve started purchasing games on GOG whenever possible so as to put my money towards an actually good source in the industry but it doesn’t feel like enough.

These companies are constantly pushing the boundaries of what they can get away with and it feels like we just gotta take it at this point.

I especially feel bad for the console gamers as they have very little options to get around this and switching to PC is unfortunately more expensive than ever.

Either that or become tech-savvy enough for 🏴‍☠️

  Yeah, doable for us on PC but a much higher barrier for entry for those on console

Now that PC gaming is at feature parity with console gaming, I think it’s particularly important to tell people how available DRM-free gaming is. No, it’s not going to be common in the AAA segment of your library, but it’s a lot of games. And you’ll never have to worry about it being pulled from your library.

The price of hardware is a pain point for sure, but if you’re able to see past that, you’ll be spending less over a generation on PC than you would on a console between not having to pay for online service, dramatically cheaper gamepad/accessory options, and a massive library of quality games at $30 or less.
