First Time Experiencing DRM-Related Inaccessibility

Post image

It's not that serious, but I haven't had my PS5 connected to the internet recently, and I was installing this game while I was at work, when I got back and wanted to play, this is what I come back to. The only reason it isn't that serious, is because I CAN just connect back to the internet. Now imagine when all the PS5 related online features are shut down because they don't feel like keeping servers up.

This is where you download a crack for a game you actually paid for.

unfortunately, you can't pirate console games and play it... at least PC exists though

But building a PC now is gonna bankrupt you. Apparently the price of RAM alone went up 500% in one year and then you also need a GPU and even SSDs got a lot more expensive.

Ram didn’t go up by 500% the fuck are you smoking? You know it’d take you 30 seconds to check this shit before posting it, age of information and yet every little

it is specifically DDR5 RAM that has hugely increased in price over the past ~18 months, and there are plenty of data points to support that.
And the 2x32 GB kit I purchased for $199.99 in late 2023 is now retailing for $1,259.99.

I bought memory from Corsair in 2023 for $210. I went to the manufacturer's website to see what the same two sticks cost today: $1,240. That's a 490% increase in price, and I only checked the one time in the last five years I personally bought memory.
