I know these rarely have any sway with our governments and there is more important things in the world atm, but it's getting close to the end now and it's worth a reminder.

Bro used to chant stuff like "DRM is bad for the consumer, and I won't stand for it!" But after hearing about the initiative it instantly becomes "cmon guys, let games die, its just how things work. Get with it. Cmon you guys." Such a little weezel.

For real. It’s not hard to understand at all and he’s clearly misunderstanding on purpose.

With DRM being so prevalent these days I’m worried we’ll just have decades worth of games we can’t play one day because publishers want us buying their new games and re-releases of old games.

I make a point of buying physical copies for console where possible and from GOG otherwise. Especially when I am likely to want to replay the game a few years later.
