So none of them care about any files being stolen, or things like that. That’s not many people, so I cannot say it’s some good statistics. But I believe it’s true for many. If I’d pirate games (I’m not a gamer, and I see no point in not buying, if I’m going to play just one game casually), I’d do the same. Since my work PC is plenty powerful, I’d rather use it, but switch disks to not allow Windows to see it. (However, they are encrypted anyway.) On the other hand, if the games would work on Linux, I’d rather go this isolation way. Sounds just many times easier to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] versionc@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago Works doesn’t always means works well. “Playable” on proton db has wildly different meanings to some people. permalink fedilink source parent [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 5 months ago Thanks for explaining that!

So, for them, having a computer is to play games. If they are pressed with money, they’d rather buy a better GPU than games. It’s not like these people are having multiple computers, keeping one to just play games. Sure, I agree, when the money isn’t an issue, why won’t you just buy the game? permalink fedilink source parent
