minus-squareTheCaconym [any]linkfedilinkEnglish53•edit-210 months agoExactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg Bethesda games usually don’t go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)
minus-squareYuumilinkfedilinkEnglish28•10 months agoI have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•10 months agoIt really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales. I probably would have bought it already if I couldn’t find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
minus-squareYuumilinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-210 months agoTbh what you’re doing is exactly what I did too with Skyrim. Downloaded a crack played for probably 1k hours and then bought it just to play 1k more

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•10 months agoYou can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you. I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.
