It's not my comment. You are talking to the completely wrong person. Go look at their comments.

You have no idea do you?

You don't pay for launchers. They are free. You also don't pay for multiplayer. If you don't want launchers look at DRM free sites like Good Old Games or pirate them.

You can play Steam games without an internet connection. This is just like how consoles are packed with DRM but you can still play them offline. Why would you even think PCs are any different? Like consoles have always had worse DRM.

discless releases and paid multiplayer Paid multiplayer has always been a console thing never a PC thing. Discless releases seem only a good thing to me. Why would I want to wait to go to a store in order to have a game when I can download it at home in a few hours? From what I understand there are still releases where both are an option but frankly I don't care.

Piracy on PC is very much alive and well outside of multiplayer games.

Have you thought about Windows 10 LTSC? I think that is your best option.

Also we are on Windows 11 now, not 10 as the latest version. Keep up.

That's a very unusual game to ask about so I have no idea. Way newer games have been cracked with way worse DRM (Denuvo).

As for playing online I think it depends on the game. Some I believe you can play but only with other pirates. I wouldn't rely on it.

I don't get why you would need nurves for it. If you stick to something like FitGirls official website it's not too risky.

That being said if it's better for multiplayer games to take advantage of steam sales. For an old game like Hawk2 it probably is only a few quid/dollars to buy.

Where and when? All the instances I have heard about have been attacked by external powers, not taken over from within.

They already answered this:

I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.

The Nazis. He was working against the Nazis and the Japanese. Why are you questioning this?

Games are also easy to pirate if you have a PC

They didn't specify the ages when I first replied. Now that they have specified they are kids I think it's even less of a generation issue and more of a teenager or child vs adult issue that's being wrongly framed as a generation issue.

Hey I find Lemmy and Mastodon addictive enough. Then again I still use mainstream platforms too. Mainly because their are things I want to look at and people I folloe that haven't or won't move over.

Hey I was born in 2001 and use both Mastodon and Lemmy. Stop with the juvenoia.

The fact is most people of any age don't care how things work and don't like putting in any extra effort into tech. Imo old people are sometimes worse with this.

People who want to understand how technology works are a minority, and those who actually do understand are an even smaller minority. Nobody can understand how everything they use works to a reasonable level of detail anyway. You either have surface level details of lots of stuff, or more detail about some specific things. Modern systems are just too large and complex to completly fit in a human brain.

Edit: When the comment I was replying to was first written it didn't include the age of the people they were talking about. Now that I know those it sounds less like a generation issue and more like the behaviour if children and teenagers. I think the person I am replying to needs to understand the difference between generations vs just still being a kid. Although personally I got into the technical side of things as a teenager.
