Dude, I’ve spoken to you about piracy in the past and you don’t seem to be able to understand a lot of the things I’m saying, despite… at least form my PoV, I believe I’m being clear and articulate.
Do I need to post you a screenshot from my battle net account in order to show you, that I have purchased most Blizzard games (the ones I’m playing)?
Is it lost on you, that I am literally writing on the forum, meaning that I have a valid account of good standing?
All I said is, that if hypothetical remaster/remake allows for offline single player, but requires you to check online every 30 days or so, and yet you wanna play it on some sort of airtight computer with no connection to the internet, I said, that the person asking can solve that by downloading a pirated version of the game on a freaking flash drive, deploy it on the airtight computer and play like this.
I never said, that they shouldn’t purchase a legitimate copy at all or “pirate everything for the lolz or to screw companies over”.
If the person cares at all for playing over battle net, he’ll have to buy the real thing. I’ll buy the real thing, since of remaster/remake gets released, I will be playing it over battle net.
But yes, piracy would solve the DRM issue, for someone, who wants to play the game on a machine with no internet connection… the same way piracy solved the problem for me with Assassin’s Creed 2. My legitimate copy, that I purchased myself, with real money, wasn’t freaking working on Windows 7 for some reason… I downloaded a pirated version and it worked. I still paid for the game.
So yes, if an issue like that occurs, I’ll download all manner of pirated versions in order for me to get to play what I paid for. It’s not “breaking the law” if I’ve already paid for it and the company already has my money, meaning they haven’t lost the revenue, and I’ve fixed the issue on my end without them losing revenue.
Jesus Christ. Some reading comprehension, please.
