    This extension should allow you to set basically anything you want for YouTube. Preferred resolution, audio level, playback speed and much more. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fi…

    Maybe that person went to a place where they could get Internet, downloaded the game to a suitable storage medium and dragged it over from there into their steam folder at home.

    I would not say that this will necessarily be hugely expensive. People who would have waited for a crack would not have paid anyways. The only impact is them getting to play the ga…

    The Steam DRM doesn't appear to be too terribly difficult to crack, considering there are so many cracks of steam games out there.

    How many people would actually listen if they aren't at least mildly interested in technology?

    This is Gold, though I'm not sure if this is satire. Especially point 8 sounds like satire, but maybe that's just my Linux-infected brain and not what normal people think.

    They shouldn't be able to pull Rocket League from customers who already have it in their library. They couldn't do it with other games like Metro Exodus either.

    These two consoles may be pretty close to EOL. If the next consoles have vulkan it would absolutely make sense to use vulkan more.

    I recently started to change over to linux for gaming and I was pleasantly surprised by how many games work through lutris.

    "...resort to illegally torrenting them." I'd argue that pirating games that aren't available anywhere should not be illegal. I had the same problem with the original Metro Exodus.…

    You wouldn't need a new charger with every phone then. Why not just let users buy that separately?
