    Just yesterday I couldn’t play a game I bought two years ago because ubisoft couldn’t authorize steam.

    I spent a whole hour of my own free time trying to fix it through their interface. Resetting the password, restarting steam, unlinkin and relinking etc.

    My final and only solution that worked was to download 11mb of cracked dlls and executables from that one russian counter strike forums and then drag the files to my game folder.

    It took 2 minutes.

    On an unrelated sidenote I noticed video games don’t feel fun anymore. I guess I grew up just a little lmao?

      Yeah, one of the reasons I’m okay with Steam’s DRM is because I know I can remove it and still play most of them (single player, at least).

      On an unrelated sidenote I noticed video games don’t feel fun anymore.

      Various reasons for that. It’s probably a mix of you and the games. I notice that I have a hard time staying interested in most modern games and wonder if I’m just starting to not like them any more, but then a game will come along that grabs my attention.
