minus-squareCubitOom@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up9·7 hours agoI’d also like to add that the yakuza series used for this picture are great games that now come with DRM, unless you buy them on GOG. I bought a big bundle of the games through steam on sale and Yakuza: Like a Dragon came with DRM on steam. Buy on GOG, its the same game but DRM free. I should have waited for the GOG sale, now I might pirate it to play the game I bought without DRM.
