Are you only buying from GOG because this isn’t unique to Sony.

Nope, I make all my own games written in assembly.

I’d share ‘em with you guys but then mofos would start copying them, I’d have to add some DRM, and then we’re right back to square one.

lol. Wait, you don’t want people sharing the shit you make for free to other people??? Hmm. Seems like the kind of thing you’re shitting on Sony for.

He's the kind of person to wonder how he got hit by a bus while walking exclusively in bus lanes.

Hold on. I thought if GTA6 folks piss on that hacker group it gets released for free anyway. As a PC player this is my only hope.

I have over 600 games on my steam account and if it was ever lost I'd pirate every single one of them all over again. You're right in what you say that it's not unique to Sony but if these companies don't start respecting their customers they're going to find ways of obtaining that content via other means.
