A lot of people are talking about Linux and the fact most of the people in this plataform are accostumated with Steam, but I’d also like to provide my own experience with it: It allowed people in my region to buy games with affordable prices. It used that everyone in my country had to pirate their game because not only games were so expensive they sometimes cost half of your wage for the month, but because companies had no support for our region. It was a hobby for the rich and it was almost impossible to talk to anyone outside certain circles about gaming even if you pirated. Once Steam came about with their prices and support, almost everything related to gaming was improved and prices in general went down over here, even for physical versions.

Sure, now prices are hiking up again even in Steam, but it’s hard to forget how much better and accessible gaming was made in my region because of them…

voices38 cracks are traditional cracks, so they should work. It’s really the HV bypasses that absolutely require windows, no workarounds.

Do they have multisub options?

Man, I’ll miss their DL options for new releases + the multi-sub releases. It’s not hard to find DL, but generally they are English-only. Not a big fan of using torrent for single episodes

Exactly, the issue here is that online services for games are becoming a lot more common these days. Back then, it was mostly a thing for MMOs, for good reason.

If people let it be, it’s really likely more and more games will require some sort of server, even if online play isn’t necessary for one to enjoy it or if it’s a mostly single player game with a few multiplayer functionalities. For now, most examples of this kind of thing are gatchas, but if people start accepting the idea that you don’t “own” the games you buy (and believe me, some already do), I can see companies pushing that kind of thing into normal games, too. It’s already starting, aint it?

Would make them more money, too, since they can pull the plug on a game and then 10 years later resell the same thing, and people will be forced to buy it again if they want to replay it. We do see this to lesser extend already.

Anything that requires an online service. Specifically, I’m talking about games that need a server to run and permanently shut down once it’s offline – these are becoming more common even among games with single player modes.

I don’t see manga becoming harder, at all, even with all the crackdowns. Smaller files, and it’s the type of stuff you can’t reliably DRM. Denuvo is mostly a problem with companies like SEGA, honestly. Most publishers these days remove it after a while.

That’s intended. They want you to run into paid shows you might be interested in—while tech-savvy folks will realize they have better options, the average free customer will keep running into stuff they would want to watch but can’t because they don’t have a sub, until they cave in. If these services had a easy free-to-watch list, most of those people wouldn’t even spare a glance to the paid servings, as they could just entirely avoid them.
