Being without a job same unless there’s something super cheap on my wishlist I really gotta have…I can’t even make a decision of what to play out of my library half the time lmao

I just wanna say this is irony that it came up on a work machine tho. Like they really trying to get you out of there 🤣

I mean lucky you. Usually my problem was shiz would get slow all the time on it. Haven’t ever had that issue when I switched. Windows was just constantly getting more and more unstable for me…and I didn’t ever mess with anything to make it act like that…

One of many reasons I’m on Linux now and have been for years. I got tired of the bs and the increasing need fo reinstall often they forced on me…At least when I do it, it’s my fault or I’m jumping distros lol

Seriously…need to do that with mine but it’s just sitting deactivated. Don’t feel like messing with it…

Oh I know…part of what’s not in that comment is I have played it on free but ended up paying until I couldn’t bc life sucks. Was on the second expansion too but yea life has been weird…

I mean I doubt it. Hall effects have been on the market for ages(notably the dreamcast as a few other comments reminded me). They can’t possibly stop hall effects and mods that allow them at this point XD

Seriously…idk why they are so…obtuse to fixing shiz sometimes. Granted we are talking about the same company that won’t embrace fan work the same as Sega so they’re kinda backwards imo. Esp since that stuff usually isn’t making money or is free promo for the real shiz Ala streaming and reviews. They’re not very smart imo on a lot of things and seem to punish fans for having fun with shiz too much…

I guess there’s that and that is cheaper but still…it stinks we even need to prepare it except when self-employed. Like they report our income with the jobs that do, why we gotta tell them again what we earned 🤷‍♂️

I want to say I’m shocked but I’m not. I can’t even force the free version at this point. I don’t need the benefits of the more expensive variants between them and other options available in my area locally. I just need an easy way to file shiz and keep record throughout the year when I do self employed and occasionally gig stuff.

Everyone of these places wants to make things more difficult to do anything. Esp as someone trying to make due until I can get into a more stable job outside of retail, foodservice and the like(including all super physical jobs that I just can’t do).

Which stinks for broke boys like me but is understandable…esp since we can’t get rid of capitalistic greed in so many other industries where it’d help to be able to afford shiz like this again…

Same tbh…

I mean I’ve bought plenty that were scratched but still worked. Only one that didn’t really was the twilight princess we found randomly in my church parking lot when I was younger. I just don’t like the speed since no one seems to get nailing down loading times. I’d love something Ala switch games tho…

I can see them forced to have some form of resellable media Ala switch maybe. But disc’s as others have stated I think are on the way out. Esp bc they’re so easily scratched and everything else…like good for a time but should’ve had something else come in once cartridges caught back up in price. They were always quicker by a long shot…it’s just that memory prices weren’t there in the 90s or until now even really. If I don’t like or don’t want a game I want some way to sell it off and can’t do that digitally bc they won’t equate it to the same thing as selling a used copy XD
