I quite like the idea of people just not engaging with this.

Can't play the latest AAA because I can't afford the equipment for it? No worries, there's literally thousands of other games out there.

More realistically though, people will end up subbing to a streaming service, which is almost certainly what the companies would prefer.

Piracy and giving them nothing is the answer

RETURN TO THE OLD WAYS

That's what I do for new games now, fuck $100 for a linear single player game. I implore all studios to use Denuvo as it's the best DRM on the market 😉

Stop Killing Games could play neatly into this, fingers crossed.

If you've got a PC built in the last few years you can play them anyway.

Mostly this affects people whose PCs are pretty old already :/ but like if you've got an AM4 build you can just upgrade your GPU and maybe CPU if necessary and keep your good ol' DDR4. AM4 truly the GOAT of CPU sockets in terms of longevity.
