I believe the originals are restored now

Nope. They temporarily made it so that buying Definitive Edition on the Rockstar Launcher granted the originals until outrage died down, but the original versions of the games still require either a disc or piracy now that they seemingly removed even that. I can confirm that the PS4 versions of the games that were the PS2 versions in an emulator are still missing, too.

Switching to Firefox worked great.

Linux suffers from being a patchwork of hobbyists updates, corporate additions, and patchy distro support. When it comes down to it, if you have an issue, you either have to solve it on your own or hope and pray the elitists on StackOverflow are in a good mood.

Honestly, every OS kinda sucks.

Debatable, considering all that's stopping you from using it for free is a watermark and lack of personalization options.

Plus, I'm using the Windows 10 Education key my college gave me, and my Windows 7 Home key from way back in the day would work too, as well as the Windows 8 key that came with my Surface Pro 3. The cost feels like a formality tbh.

The funny thing about this is the assumption that land ownership matters in the event of the apocalypse. Having your fancy bunker location public is probably the wrong thing to do.

This old sack of shit looked like a corpse even before he died, sheesh.

In the U.S. circa 2016, so many kids were just finding pirate streaming sites for movies and such during class on school computers. I imagine it's similar elsewhere for students who've finished their work and are bored, but boy, now they have the knowledge of how to get countless other types of media for free.

Piracy is a service problem. The goal shouldn't be to indoctrinate our youth to avoid it, it should be to stop releasing subpar, overpriced products.

Like Gabe Newell once said, piracy is a service problem.

The last two things I pirated were No One Lives Forever, a game that's completely delisted on all storefronts, and Ratchet & Clank, because Sony can't figure out how to add the PS2 versions of games to the PS5 and I refuse to stream it (data cap) or lug around my PS3.

Both I would've purchased legally had they not made it a pain in the ass.
