Pushed my lazy ass to do the same. For anyone still hesitating, it truly does only take a minute and it couldn’t be easier!

Hey, thanks for the suggestion! The website does work for me (although the web-app doesn’t, yeah). As for the project: Decentralized sharing, on-chain DRM, p2p social features and payments? The project seems ambitious to say the least. Although many of its features stand in stark contrast with what Disney, Apple and co. currently exploit, so I doubt they would ever have the motivation to join in.

I’m going to follow its development for sure, thanks again for shining a light on it.

All fine on my end…how long has this been happening to you? Might be something random or temporary.

I have no clue what Warhammer is or how to solve any of this, but I consider myself a jolly guy. Probably for the entirety of last month I’ve never laughed as much as I did while reading your post.

So hey, I wouldn’t wish harm on anyone, but if a horrible chain of misadventures like this ever happens again please be sure to share it with us. So we can comfort you, of course.

I appreciate the effort, thank you very much! I’ll look into it as soon as I’m home, hopefully a VPN makes it accessible👍

Honestly, after seeing that there’s truly no GOG equivalent for movies, neither now nor probably ever, this is the solution I like the most.

If I want something fast, I get the file through “other means”. If I like it and want to support the production behind it, I add it to a list and at the end of the year I do what you’ve said.

This way I neither accumulate DVDs nor throw them in the trash, I support the production, I make my neighbors happy and get a high quality file on top. Sometimes it’s the simplest things, thanks for the reminder and the idea :) Hopefully in the future this will all be possible digitally.

Somehow wasn’t expecting this in the context of games but of course makes perfect sense. Denuvo =/= DRM, the latter being much more broad. Thanks for the knowledge nugget!

“Wait, so you’re telling me you can watch a movie you bought without using the official app?”

This might not be very popular, but I find their games section to be lacking as well. I’ve recently tried GOG for the first time expecting a “money for an .exe file” kind of approach for every game that had its Denuvo removed on Steam. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Dragon Quest XI without DRM!

Oh boy, how naive…
