I don't think I've read the inquirer articles before, but is this a standard?

They're just talking about a broken game, right? (That will likely get patched in a few days/weeks)

It's more the batshit crazy idea behind it. If you want to play the game you have two choices:

1. Pay for the game to support the creation of more games. This path will include invasive DRM that either causes performance problems, damages your hardware, or disallows you from playing the game you paid for, for instance when you're not connected to the internet.

2. Pirate the game, play it how you want.

That they punish the users who do the right thing and reward those who do not is crazy to me. That it has continued for so long without a collective wakeup call that you should not punish the people who give you money and play by the rules is mindboggling.

There exists a third option. Pay for the game, then pirate the superior cracked version.

Which is still illegal regardless of whether it's moral.

I'm trying to find a way to work in a bound for the floor reference but none of them fit.
