So, i don't live in the eu, i live in america.

I recently resolved to never spend money on a video game again. It's just fucking stupid, and i eventually feel stupid for doing it.

Even if i trust the company that made the game, they could sell out at some point, and whoever buys them will now own the game that i bought.

That means it will be patched with a bloat of spyware, and i may not be able to play online ever again, if my computer even still meets specs to run the new spyware.

The only way to preserve these like precious works of art that shape us as we experience them, that become part of us and how we relate to one another, rather than as the disposable plastic happy meal toys their owners seem to treat them as, is by stealing.

To put it another way:

Video games are not allowed to be timeless classics, despite there being many that, in quality and universality, should be. Their publishers will not allow it.
