It's wild that they get away with charging for it

I can’t go back to consoles lol. I do so many other things on my PC and it just also happens to be great for running games. And you can play damn near anything you want. I setup Dolphin the other day just so I could play through SSX Tricky. I regularly play through Star Fox 64 or Streets of Rage. My friends and I will still randomly do a run through of L4D2. And then we can still play whatever modern games we want. Can’t do all that on a console.

How Disney and Warner Bros. Are Causing Internet Piracy to Boom | Platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ were supposed to do away with pirated media. Instead, they may make them stronger than ever.

That’s even more of a reason for me to pirate. I have access to pretty much every TV show, movie, book, comic, etc that I could possibly want from before my existence til now. I can get to it from anywhere in the world and i know that i’m not just gonna arbitrarily remove it. I can also get specific releases or better formats. I have scripts to easily remux audio or subtitles or whatever I want. I’ve even learned how to Web-DL from services I get for free from my ISP and cell carrier. My Plex server is definitely better than any single streaming service and I have quite a bit of stuff that isn’t on any. Would never choose to go back at this point with how convoluted and expensive streaming is now.
