Good to know about that. I’m not from EU tho. Also I’m not in position to help others in person, I’m just trying to survive, but I could help with a signature to give it more reach.
My comment is because I’ve seen this on Reddit a few months ago in general communities, not just gaming focused ones.
I honestly don’t care about the state of games, I think people have the decision to stop killing games the whole time, just stop paying for shitty games.
There are good indie companies doing a great job.

Why is this so important? First world problems… Why don’t you guys make signatures to improve the life of homeless people? Stop putting ads everywhere? Privacy invasive companies? Free food for the needed?
This is bullshit, honestly. I hate AAA companies in general, but this is nonsense. It feels like a bunch of teenagers signed it.
EDIT: Let me help ya, I’ll down vote my own comment too. Together we can!
God Hand is a hidden gem, the game is hard tho.
Crash of the Titans
Crash Twinsanity
Black
Midnight Club 3
NFS Underground 2
Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks
Gun
Burnout
Darkwatch (hidden gem too)
There are more but these worth mentioning because they can’t be played without emulation on PC, so it fits well to play on PCSX2.

That’s right, it’s exactly what I think, you are one way or another helping a game to be known. The same strategy people talked about why Microsoft don’t shut every Office cracker, they want normal people to use it and get used to it, so companies will use it too, eventually, and they can audit some IT companies, charge a hell amount of money if they use pirated software.
I agree with everything, but I’ll still pirate AAA games, just for the experience. I classify publishers/developers companies like this:
Let’s be honest, the games are good, probably made by some people who love what they were doing, but then it was put behind a shitty business model, because developers are just trying to make a living while executives trying to harvest all the money.
I think as the time goes, developers will start making their choices better, leave predatory companies, start or join indie companies, and I, at the same time, will migrate to a more indie focused gaming.

I’ve a dual boot with Linux + Windows, my games are isolated on Windows where I’m not logged in anything important. I can just encrypt my Linux partition for a possible vulnerability. But I really think that it’s hard to happen, at least it never happened to me, I’ve pirated before a few times.
Also it’s allowed to pirate on my country, it’s just not allowed to redistribute it, so I don’t need a VPN.
Just download from trusted sources and it’s fine. At this point I’d rather to trust the community providing pirated games than big companies harvesting my data.

Looking for to be sleeping, I really don’t give a shit about that.
