As a PC player, I never grasp why console players are willing to pay a ransom to access a product and service they already paid for.

And worst, this video shows M$ double dip dev by taking a 30% cut plus the cost of game service (like logins, verification, lobby, etc) unlike Steam that already have it covered in that cut, and triple dip by asking player to pay more.

But my point is, if you want to play said game onlline, you have to give up your privacy in unknown ways, too. There's no way to know what Denuvo or whatever is sending off to their 800 corporate friends or what they're collecting while you play, either.

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
