    How can the installers access a file that no longer exists since the servers are shut down and the files can no longer be accessed…?

    My phrasing is confusing since the point literally is fucking pointless, it’s moot, doesn’t matter since it can’t be accessed licensed or not.

      You are just ignoring that the installers can be downloaded and saved. Or even just the game directory can continue to work.

      For people who value that it is a difference. Even how the game works is different with how some don’t work offline or lose ability to function offline once verification expires compared to non DRM counterparts.

      You are an idiot acting as if DRM and DRM free is the same as though some license terms is the only determining factor.

        Dude, no I am not, my very first comment in this chain talked about the needing to download and store it in a non-degrading way…. Fucking hell dude lmfao.

        What point are you trying to make here then if I already covered this at the very start?
