Good old DRM... screwing paying customers while people pirating get a better experience.

Piracy is a service provider. That's how that quote goes, right? /s

Edit: Joke clarification.

[–] MagnificentSteiner@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it's "Piracy is a service problem" iirc

I like to call it illegal sharing.

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know the quote. Sadly, I'm not sure how to convey the joke meaning in text.

[–] MagnificentSteiner@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ohh, I see now. Sorry totally missed the joke.

Probably just put a /s on the end to convey sarcasm would do it.

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Good point.

Sounds like a great reason to refund the game.
