Hey guys,
so I posted here a few weeks ago, with the idea of donating a gaming PC to a nursing home. I talked to someone in charge there today, this might actually happen.
Thing is, to try this out I would probably have to supply the software (Microsoft Flight Simulator being the most important now.)
As I understand it, you can only use the Flight Simulator with a Microsoft account. If I let them use my own account, that would mean a PC with my logged in account would be standing around there in the open, for anyone to access.
Does anyone have any idea how to approach this in a safe manner? I wish I could just buy a physical copy and let them have it for a while, before they buy their own. But even those need a connected Microsoft account nowadays, it seems.
Was also thinking of buying a used Xbox Series S (this might become the long term solution anyway), but same issue with the account, I believe.
(Man, modern gaming keeps finding ways to be annoying sometimes.)
P.S. If you have great game recommendations for octogenarians, bring them on!
You could crack your own games. Not exactly legal but it would mean the games wouldn’t require your account to run.
Kind of like how if you share a computer with a sibling you can use a Steam emulator so you don’t have to switch back and forth between accounts or own two copies of the game.
