Back them up on a hard drive and their ToS doesn’t mean squat anymore. I guess that takes a little more effort and investment but if you want to own the game without DRM that will do it.

Buy games on GoG when you can
I get that - and that’s a fine choice. I suppose my point is that I view Google the company, the entire entity, as the enemy of privacy. Therefore, I want nothing to do with them if at all possible, on any level.
I will admit it’s depressingly difficult, the whole reason I’m looking at this is because my old iPhone is nearly dead and I’ve been wanting to get away from them for awhile too. It feels like I’m looking at American politics. Both major parties suck for different reasons but anyone else looks like roadkill by comparison.

Every excuse in the world to keep using products brought to us by the enemy of privacy. This is why there are so few options.
And yes, that’s part of my concern. Even if others don’t notice, I still know. I still would be a hypocrite, railing on google for their bullshit, and then still using their products.
I’m not really judging anyone for buying a Pixel and taking the easy way out. Trying to maintain privacy with tech is a major pain in the ass, it gets tiresome quickly. But holy shit, people in this privacy community sure are quick to rail on me for trying to avoid the largest offender in privacy invasion.
I’m literally in the process of trying to find one.
I’m not delusional, I don’t think I’m going to single handedly bankrupt google, but I would really prefer to not support them in any way.
Some people are suggesting second hand Pixels so Google doesn’t get my money, but that’s still free advertising for them when I’m seen using it. It’s sort of like I don’t want to wear a google shirt when I’m completely against them.
Cause fuck Google, that’s why. I will likely indeed vote with my wallet, right now eyeing a fairphone with /e/OS but have not decided yet. It might not be the latest and greatest but I’m finding I don’t really use all the bells and whistles anyway. Give me email, web browsing, a basic camera, and maps, and that’s 90% of what I do on my phone so it looks like a suitable candidate. If I already had a google device then maybe Graphene is a great option, but I’m not further rewarding google by buying their spyware and having to mod it.
Ooo a privacy phone… that requires buying a google phone. Fuck that, I’m not shelling out money to the very company causing most of these concerns.

This is by far the most confusing part when I consider switching over - which one to get? Primarily Steam gaming, but I saw someone mention the Nvidia cards I have might not play nice.

Also, it should be called Disney -
Sounds like a solid plan. Really I keep messing with most of the new weapons I find, so now I just whip this back out whenever I encounter a bunch of undead.
Wings were a little disappointing actually. Every once in awhile I would get some good hits with it, but half the time I would just fly right past the enemy and it was useless then.
I read the weapon description saying something about holy amplifying the power so I started experimenting a bit with it. I landed on using sacred blade to continuously apply extra holy with the special move instead of using grease. It absolutely destroys undead stuff. There may be a better choice too, since I’m running a fresh character I’m missing some ashes, but anything that gives it the extra grease aura should rock.
Not sure. It’s unverified speculation. People are weirdly attached to software these days. My answer to problems like these is to find something else. Tor seems decent.
I gave that the sacred blade ash of war with holy affinity. Makes it do waaaaayyyy more damage.
So google is a privacy nightmare. Google pays firefox. There’s not a lot more dots to connect here. How is anyone surprised at things like this?
YSK the electoral college can get fucked.
Its a good game, and was especially so for the time it released. However, it’s also the kind of thing that once you’ve finished there’s not much reason to go back and do it again. Maybe after a decade I would play it again for $5, but its not so fun that I would drop $20 on it.
You have to take in money for laundering to work. This is just money hemorrhaging. They fucked up royally, I think largely by not advertising. No one even heard of it until news of the poor release numbers made headlines, and that sure didnt entice purchases.
