    It depends, small indie games teams usually suffer from this. Big houses that screw over players, those can go fuck themselves.

      Yeah, there’s not always a clean separation between execs and devs, even if that’s politically inconvenient.

      I’m going to go ahead and say that digital markets are still broken, and the solution definitely isn’t what the big execs want, either, but “everyone pirates everything” isn’t going to work if you like the present variety and quality of videogames available.

        Yeah, drm-free storefronts like GOG are the best solution I think. I love Steam and Proton, but if Valve ever goes public that would all change for the worse.

      Have you noticed, nowadays, games from such “big houses” tend to be not even worth pirating?
      Just a major waste of time.
