What is this about exploitable HW? How is that in any way related to what I said about not updating Software unless you need to? I didn't say disable windows update and never install any security patches, I was referring to feature updates only. There were several hacks recently where bad...

Vulnerability has become the IT equivalent of will you just think of the children! Every new version has potential new 0-day vulnerabilities than don't affect the tried and tested one. I'd argue that updating to a new major release makes you less secure, not more. On top of this your chance of...

I didn't mean the backlog of games, but how often and how many such games are added? Surely for an ongoing subscription to make any sense at all you must get more games than what you could buy outright with the same money. So, paying 80 to buy a great game once in a while is a problem, but...

But how often do they add titles you would pay money for? Why would I pay a subscription to get access to games I'd never even consider buying? At this point not even years is enough for me to finish some games, I just don't play games 6-8 hours / day anymore, unless it's something I really...

I'm OK with buying AAA games that are good, at 60 70 even 80 if it's something outstanding. If a game is worth playing I'd rather own it and play it with no pressure than rent it, I know technically steam is renting too, but you know what i mean. At $20 you'd need a good AAA game every 3 months...

I'm not saying it was a bad game or that I disliked it. A 6/10 is a solid score, I enjoyed even some 4/10 games.

Well of course it is, anything over 0$ is too expensive. As far as I'm concerned game subs are a plague and shouldn't be a thing. In fact I hated it even when I had it for free as it was constantly on the back of my mind to not let it go to waste. It incentivized me to try games I'd never have...

I have not played any of the previous Metro games or any Stalker. I rely on my spidey senses to decide which games are for me and which aren't, and those were telling me to avoid them until Exodus. The exact reason I was interested in Exodus was because it promised not to be underground. And it...

I wasn't particularly impressed with Exodus overall. It was a 6/10 for me.

I was in the same boat, but I didn't convert because of DRM, but because I could afford it later. If DRM was 100% bullet proof I might not even have got into games, ever so the industry would've lost all cumulative revenue from me. Which after 20 years (since I regularly buy games) is not an...

I remember reading somewhere that if Denuvo is cracked within a certain time period then the publisher gets their money back, or part of it, I don't remember exactly. Best case scenario it is a zero-sum investment, but I doubt even that. The cost of denuvo, and the bad pr that comes with it...

Nobody will ever convince me that egregious DRM actually results in more sales.

This isn't even AI, it is the automated content id system that has been in place for many years. It's basically a "you're above the law" tool for broadcasters and studios. Any content submitted into the system is automatically blocked, however it does not give the affected channels a copyright...

I expect them to directly lift the upscaling from their TVs and as such look awful with game content. Why pay +50% for the same panel?

That's literally ME1 even the enemies shown are 1:1 with husks. Not saying that's a bad thing necessarily but it makes me doubt the creativity of the designers. As if I didn't already have doubts about this game.
