what is the reason to put that tool into a browser? if i use the thing on my private computer, it increases complexity compared to a local installation (not an issue for many ppl here, but for my grandma surely). if i use it on a corporate environment, wouldn’t more employees use it if it was the default PDF viewer on their managed device?

what did i miss?

again displaying, that DRM only hurts legitimate users. a pirate has never had the problem of backing up, moving or sharing his library…

i think they got the tomeline wrong… as far as i remember nazi germany offered simmilar deals to jews before forcefully deporting them.

lets not talk about what happened after deportation. if the us gov is so bad with history, it might give them ideas…

exactly what i am talking about. age restriction at the physical store kept you away for a while, while not forcing an alternative/underground market. however, if you knew the only way to get it is on an alternative store - you would immediately have looked there.

if you can run a private server, you can get rid of all ‘phone home’ requirements.

so you just need a cracked copy of the game itself. luckily it is completely legal to remove digital locks on anything you bought in many countries (not the usa though).

age verification is just a BS strawman. do you remember when we where young? we would access stuff and find ways to buy stuff. but whenever there was a reasonable but fair gap, it would be much harder to get whatever we wanted: buying weed was so much easier, than buying alcohol (without the appropriate age).

pirating is easy (even i figured it out before having enough money to buy movies & games). so the kids will just pirate that stuff and get their way anyway. age verification at the store makes so much more sense. sure, there are ways to circumvent those. but it is a reasonable stop block.

was excited to see they have a ‘fantasy room’.

am disappointed to not see more TES references.
