After mulling over it for close to 14 years, it seems Microsoft is finally ready to kill off the Windows Control Panel soon. An official confirmation has been posted on its website.
Not curious at all. Pirates remove or circumvent the DRM.
Edit: since wine’s dll’s are reverse engineered and are not allowed to have original code of leaks, DRM and Anti Cheat tools often have issues with it. Aside from the point that the more intrusive DRM want kernel level access, which fails with Linux of course.
Yeah, that’s what I see as the most likely explanation: it was a AAA game from some years ago.
The funny bit is that if indeed DRM was to blame, it actually results in less revenue for them: the pirate version packages ALL DLCs whilst I own just the base game and a few DLCs - without that problem I would’ve kept using the version I owned and probably buy more DLCs from them, but now I don’t need to (PS: and aren’t especially inclined to do either, since the official version doesn’t even work for me). It’s funny because DRM is claimed to help increase revenue rather than decrease it.
