“What you see right there is variable pricing,” Bowser told The Washington Post. “We’ll look at each game, really look at the development that’s gone into the game, the breadth and depth of the gameplay, if you will, the durability over time and the repeatability of gameplay experiences.

AKA corporate greed.

Make sure you use a VPN! The only time I ever got a letter from my ISP to stop pirating was when I torrented a ROM of a Nintendo game.

You don’t need a VPN if you use a Debrid service for torrents instead of a torrent client. It’s cheaper than a VPN and you get direct downloads at consistent Gigabit speeds too.

It’s not really cheaper, and I can use my VPN for other things. Torguard with promotional price is $30/year. I got a dedicated IP so I can open ports with it. Used them for almost 7 years, upload about 1TB/day

Nzb and newshosting gets me gig speeds too

Set up a torrent to /dev/null/ so the torrent is forever being fed into a state of nothing, they’ll loose 100 gajillion dollars by the end of the month.
