Of course it has fucking denuvo.

Physical media has never precluded DRM, quite the opposite it has constituted part of it.

Why do you compare reading the code to reading an EULA ? A nefarious or compromised closed source program can still do nasty stuff not described in the EULA.

Arch really is the "Linux" of Linux users, complete with non users making shit up about it.

Your argument hinges on the incredibly dishonest argument that games written for 16bit DOS, before the PSX existed, were designed for modern 64 bit windows.

Of course a modern PC can play them without extra cost, in Gog's case without extra hassle either. Needless to say you can't play PSX games on your PS5, your best bet for playing them is a random PC. Even better than a PSX as 25-30 year old hardware can crap itself out.

When games are no longer released for the PS5, a current PC will be able to play new PC games, PS5 era PC games and at least PS4 era PC games with no hassle. With atiny bit of hassle or support from vendors way further back than that.

We need a ban on checking the manufacturer/supplier of a device/os instead of checking for APIs.

Frankly most consumers only consider screen size from specs, brand and price (not value necessarily).

You can always buy your hardware.

Yes, god isn't real.

Religious people still oppose trans people existing because of religion, not because the operations are not efficient or not safe.

You are not God, you way too chill.

We have physical media on PCs, we even still have full control of them and can copy and modify anything we want.

Now you mean we should be buying some kind of disk which will actually offer us no more control and in fact was historically used for DRM.

Adding physical distribution overhead will definitely not help publishers (especially small ones or indie Devs) turn a profit.

Vinyl is horrible for consumers. CD was a format we eventually could use ourselves to copy and mix music to our preference.

That still subverts God's will.
