The present discussion was in direct reply to my own, which was not about any specific game as you claim. It was about game piracy in general. His original reply to me was started as an insult. From his insult, I replied calmly that I was speaking in a broader sense. Are you not following clearly or something?

The argument I’ve made, but somehow seems to have flown right over everyone’s heads (well, not everyone, just these weird few trying to start a fight?) is that spinning up VMs for game piracy is A: A bit much, because of the nature of the executables. You waste the overhead of another entire OS, plus the game, in an environment that isn’t as condusive to performance. B: Limited only to games which don’t have any kind of anticheat component, DRM, etc.

And while I can set this up pretty easily, I can easily surmise that there’s a smaller and smaller portion of people who have the technical know how to do such things the more complex you’ve gotta set up the software in order to remain secure. It’s easy for me to setup a VM. It’s still far less than optimal to spin up a fresh environment for a game every time I want to play something new, hence calling it bullshit. Because it is. It’s bullshit that I’ve gotta do that I otherwise wouldn’t need to in order to remain secure.
