Unfortunately that's just the way the industry is going. They'd rather just have overreach and excessive power than deal with the back and forth fight of countering hackers and cheats. I understand why they'd go that way, it's disappointing and concerning, but it's becoming more and more common.
You could run such games on a separate machine (provided you had the funds), but that's a big buy in for a single game.
Different people have different tolerances or are ignorant, not stupid. Maybe don't be so condescending to people and you'd get better responses.
Lmao, I can think of exactly 2 publishers who do this and they're getting shredded by critics, rn. Security experts think it's a fucking joke for the company and the users alike. Hopefully not "the way the industry is going", more likely to get banned in modern nations, soon.
Ignorance, especially willful, is not only a good definition of stupid but also a form of evil itself.
If you begin your comment with "lmao" it's immediately condescending and you're unlikely to convince anyone about what you're saying.
From my perspective, they made an outlandish statement that I vehemently disagreed with, if anything my response was more civil than usual.
EDIT: they not you
I'm not even the same person you were originally responding to. Just saying, if your goal is to get ideas across it's better to be nice. If you just want to dunk on people and sink to their level, then carry on.
Right, I'll add an edit. Sometimes discussion aren't meant for the other side, it's for the viewers.
