Continue to finance proprietary garbage, and you own nothing.
Time to crack.

@ooignignoktoo I still encourage physical ownership for legal reason as it's better to justify and so that our elected understand that we should OWN the stuff we buy.
As for defective disc, I have been doing backup copies on bd-r for a while now.

@mangeurdenuage That is one of the reasons why I won't buy physical PC games anymore. They're a pain in the ass to return if they don't work and I had a bad experience with Resident Evil 5 PC. I had a retail copy that had a defective disk that would not install due to a corrupted .cab file.
I had to pirate the .iso to install the game but luckily the retail disc worked enough to bypass the DRM checks but it's still bs the retail disc didn't work brand new out of the box when the game was nearly brand new at the time.

@ooignignoktoo @mangeurdenuage sometimes you have to just crack the game or torrent a crack to get it to run
