"The rejection highlights" how useless the EU really is.
They shit on everything with their bureaucracy because of "customer protection", but fail willingly here. |

Fair point. Since legit are getting fuckall back. Then pirating something that you don’t own -even if you purchase a fake license. Is probably right in some peoples eyes.
The utter shit they come out with is typical of 17th century morons in wigs.
I have physical CDs that I run through DosBox which are 30+ years old |

THEY CAN NO LONGER CONDONE PIRACY.
If they wont protect games legally then we will do it with piracy.
EASY AS THAT.
There will ALWAYS be piracy and hacks for this 1 reason.
We want to play a game forever, we paid for it so we have a right to what we paid for so piracy is the only answer now.
So, hackers keep up the great work and hack our games so we can keep playing them offline forever. |
