EmperorHenry, most of the games I’m interested in are never given away for free. But after a while, they become very cheap.
But if you should never pirate anything, that would be immoral!
iVPN! Mullvad! Proton! Kaspersky! QBITTORRENT!
Sorry I blacked out, did I say anything bad?
umbrella, (edited ) how??

citrusface, How what?
Step 1: Be poor / be busy / forget
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
zewu, Meanwhile Nintendo: almost wait a decade to pay 2x the original price on the used market
kevincox, More like re-purchase it for twice the price on the next console’s eShop
joneskind, IMHO, there’s a card missing saying
“Waiting a few years that every bug get fixed”
Another one should be
“Waiting a few years so that my $100 bucks GPU can run it flawlessly”
And last but not least.
“Waiting a few years so that my $2000 MacBook can play it at 30FPS”
Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 lately, that game is dope. I use Game Porting ToolKit BTW
Sorgan71, cyberpunk 2077 sucks cock and balls
DerisionConsulting, No, I like my dick being sucked.
joneskind, k
SugarSnack, As someone with a 1060 in a Proxmox rig and a discounted M2 MacBook air, I felt all of this
joneskind, Gotta keep that PC to play some Windows games right?
I did something dumb that I don’t regret yet, put my PC budget into a more powerful Mac when GPTK came out. I surely can’t play all games but so far I’m really satisfied.
Running Mixtral-7x8B_Q4 on a laptop wasn’t something I was expecting to be able to do :)
So I can’t say I got the best gaming rig for sure, but professionally speaking this has been an absolute blast.
If I remember correctly M1 was about as powerful as a 1050 when it came out (at least on native games). Are you happy with your M2 Air? I managed to play CP77 on my wife’s one, but since it only has 8Gb of RAM it crashed just after the meeting with Jackie Welles.
TBH, I miss a good macgaming sub on Lemmy. At a least I have an occasion to laugh of myself from time to time
SugarSnack, I’m about 2 weeks in with the MacBook so probably too early to comment! But happy so far so the basic needs are met. Gaming will be mostly emulation and moonlight via Proxmox on my TV. Huge stream backlog so I’m not rushing with modern games 😅
ordellrb, Or if its from Ubisoft never get a Chance to play it because they shut the Servers down after 10 Years
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot, If a game requires a connection to a server to run I just don’t bother.
Unless the server software is available so anyone can set one up.
KrankyKong, Anybody ever play the game “Ocarina of Time”? Is it any good?
ordellrb, The New one with the 3d Graphics? I will stick to my snes.
AngryCommieKender, Secret of Mana was good
SugarSnack, Ship of harkinian? Never heard of it
Swedneck, not only that, waiting means you can actually run the damn thing on your hardware, you’re not effectively playing an early access release, and there’s a matured community around it for mods and whatnot.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,
starman2112, Back when 2013 was the future. Damn
RememberTheApollo_, Wait 3-6 months after release and get it on sale.
Stern, Wait a year post release, get it on sale, put it in the backlog with all the others, play your one comfort game and doomscroll your preferred social media feeds instead of ever playing it
RememberTheApollo_, Ouch. Damn, dude. Stop looking over my shoulder.
lazycouchpotato, Was not expecting personal attacks like this :'(
x4740N, Pirate It

No crowns required
AngryCommieKender, They aren’t required per se, but everyone likes a fancy hat now and again
baseless_discourse, Only pirating ubisoft and nintendo games.

son_named_bort, And EA
Hiro8811, Skyrim is not free yet
BugleFingers, Well that’s because they just released it a few years ago!
Piemanding, Just looked it up and it came out 2.5 years ago. I swear it just came out. Stop making me feel old.
Hiro8811, Neither is BioShock infinite
AngryCommieKender, Epic gave away all three BioShock games a while back. I figured the free games are the only reason to have an account. I currently have 252 in my collection, and I didn’t get the first several months, maybe a year of games.
Hupf, It’s also much easier on your budget to meet the game’s hardware requirements then.
olafurp, I have a massive steam wishlist. When I need a new gawe I order the list by rating and search for discounts.
VaultBoyNewVegas, Same. I usually get about 5 at a time when they’re at 60% or so. I’m trying to whittle it down as there’s probably a couple hundred on mine.
victorz, Where are you all getting GTA V for free? I want to get in on that.
Oops never mind, I have it on the Epic store. Probably nabbed it for free when it was available.
NeptuneOrbit, I think I bought it for $10 when Cyberpunk shat the bed what three years ago?
Muscar, I really don’t understand the (clearly faulty) logic that OP is going by here. Games becoming officially free is not common at all. I’m sitting here trying to understand how this image and post were made, and the only conclusion I can come to is pure idiocy and ignorance. Either you pirate the game, which is possible on the day of release for 99% of games, or it’s given away in some way which doesn’t happen at all for 99% of games. There’s just nothing that this is based on, it’s so weird.
victorz, You’re absolutely right, I don’t understand either.
NorthWestWind, Nintendo would like to have a word with you
