Curious as to how many others do this, or if I am just crazy. Anyone else buy physical copies of games and movies and play/watch a pirated version to keep the original product sealed? Do you have a different method or do something similar?
I kinda do this. I buy physical media for things I enjoy but still pirate for accessibility reasons. I only have one Blu-ray player (PS5), for example, but I’m not gonna shuffle it around the house to watch a movie I own on the other TVs. The same goes for games. I pay for the games I want but, if it’s an Ubisoft game or something with a secondary launcher other than Steam, I play the cracked versions because there is no benefit to those extra DRM systems to me as a player.
That means some of the movies/games I own are unopened but that’s more like a secondary benefit to me rather than my primary motivation.
