Don't buy games with invasive user-side anti-cheats that hamper performance, and demand refunds on any game that adds it after purchase.
I don't understand why this is so hard for people. If everyone gave a shit, we could end this. But instead, people would rather just complain while still forking over the money to these companies.
There are so many good indie games without this kind of bullshit. We have better choices.
It didn't have "invasive user side anti-cheat" on day one you doughnut
That's why Linux users bought it. This was added YEARS after release
Where did I even remotely imply otherwise?
"Don't buy games with invasive user-side anti-cheats that hamper performance, and demand refunds on any game..."
1st point: AC Wasn't there at purchase
2nd point: AC was added decades later so how can one return the game?
This, which is in my original fucking message, applies here. If you think the effort is futile, fine, whatever, don't try. But my statement was made with full understanding of the timeline, and I stand by it. Feel free to read the rest of the comments in the thread for further discussion of the timeline, or feel free to fuck off, I guess; I'm not in the mood to indulge a pedant clearly just looking for an argument.
No it doesn't, at least not everwhere.
If you wanna be an idoitic asshat, and get all pissy because someone points out a flaw in your argument, thats not my problem.
