In what world is RTS dead? Strategy games in general have been making a huge comeback in the past five years or so. I would aks if this dude (because we all know it's a dude) lives under a rock, but he's on 4chan so we know he does.
I don't pirate because I'm opposed to paying for things. I pirate stuff because I don't want to support scumbag corporations that don't give a shit about me. In fact, I buy most of the media and games I consume, in order to support the devs behind it.
And that's not a "new piracy gen", that's how piracy has always been for most people. You're the odd one out here.
Jackett is pretty good, but you should really check out the *arr suite of apps. And when you do, you'll find Prowlarr is quite a bit better than Jackett for finding just the stuff you want.
You got me there. Doing stuff like that on other platforms like the Switch totally prevented piracy, so I suppose it's a good thing they didn't do it on a system that thousands of devs know down to the kernel without having to reverse engineer.
