This reminds me of a hilarious side quest in The Witcher 3 where a wizard gets locked out of his tower because he didn't know it was equipped with a Defensive Regulatory Magicon (DRM) when he bought it and the only way to fix it is with Gottfried's Omni-opening Grimoire (GOG). GOG is the game store started by CD Projekt to sell DRM free copies of old games.

Now that's how you do in-universe self-aggrandizing lol. Love GoG.

God damn, I've just started to play the Witcher trilogy and I am looking forward to this side quest. Lmao.
