you're playing a zero sum game. you are either a neet or some normie wagie, whether you live in the city or you're rural. you're tied to the usd, grocery store supply chains and you have a constant internet connection. it makes no sense to complain about   > "muh steam not real ownership" you are already connected fully to the system so turning your nose up to this makes no sense. its already over. even housing the space to burn pirated games and store them on a shelf still costs money because you still need a place to live and rent isn't free. i doubt you are some rural person playing games off a minipc with an 15w apu on a 1080p monitor in some cabin running off solar and starlink you are playing a zero sum game, you are already reliant on the system you have no right to complain.
