  • Man, I'll miss their DL options for new releases + the multi-sub releases. It's not hard to find DL, but generally they are English-only. Not a big fan of using torrent for single episodes

  • Exactly, the issue here is that online services for games are becoming a lot more common these days. Back then, it was mostly a thing for MMOs, for good reason.

    If people let it be, it's really likely more and more games will require some sort of server, even if online play isn't necessary for one to enjoy it or if it's a mostly single player game with a few multiplayer functionalities. For now, most examples of this kind of thing are gatchas, but if people start accepting the idea that you don't "own" the games you buy (and believe me, some already do), I can see companies pushing that kind of thing into normal games, too. It's already starting, aint it?

    Would make them more money, too, since they can pull the plug on a game and then 10 years later resell the same thing, and people will be forced to buy it again if they want to replay it. We do see this to lesser extend already.

  • Anything that requires an online service. Specifically, I'm talking about games that need a server to run and permanently shut down once it's offline -- these are becoming more common even among games with single player modes.

    I don't see manga becoming harder, at all, even with all the crackdowns. Smaller files, and it's the type of stuff you can't reliably DRM. Denuvo is mostly a problem with companies like SEGA, honestly. Most publishers these days remove it after a while.

  • That's exactly what people said about a certain austrian during the 1920/1930s, regarding his speeches.

    As the events leading to WW2 has teached us, words turn into actions frighteningly fast.

  • That's intended. They want you to run into paid shows you might be interested in---while tech-savvy folks will realize they have better options, the average free customer will keep running into stuff they would want to watch but can't because they don't have a sub, until they cave in. If these services had a easy free-to-watch list, most of those people wouldn't even spare a glance to the paid servings, as they could just entirely avoid them.

  • I did hear that Japan's copyright laws are draconian, and boy, are they efficient at getting people for it. These last years I did see a lot of news about people who do scans and such getting arrested over there.
