Context for those who didn’t live through it: Sony intentionally compromised the PCs of its customers to install a mechanism by which to prevent music piracy. There’s a lot more to it but you can read about here:

Can't buy anything from Sony, Blizzard, Activision, Microsoft, 2K, EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, etc. etc. Pretty much just buy BG3 and nothing else.

Either go indie or start pirating shit. Wanted to play Fallout the other day, but Microsoft/Bethesda just broke all the mods on PC for an update that doesn't really do anything on PC. Had to get an older pirate copy to play a game I legit purchased. At some point, I just gave up.
