I think you're misreading the comment you replied to. It's obviously sarcastic.

I'd rather buy it than spend hours and hours downloading and failing to unpack it for unknown reasons.

But I'm not going to spend more than like 10 minutes trying to make it work. If it takes longer than that, it's just a shit game that doesn't deserve my money. Too many other perfectly good games to spend my time playing to fuck around with all of that.

Someone buys an expensive car. They say "I cant use the railway!" Are you going to tell them they're wrong?

Yes. Because they are.

We dont know if they live next to a railway line. They're also heavily invested in the car and unlikely to pay out for rail tickets.

None of which indicates they "can't use the railway". It may not be their preferred travel method, which is fine (in the metaphorical sense), but to say they "can't" use the railway is simply untrue.

OP said "the software and driver support isn't there".

Someone replied and corrected them to explain the software and driver support does in fact exist.

OP replied to say that what he actually meant was that it didn't support the specific software and driver they wanted to use.

Seems like a perfectly reasonable conversation.

What about it

This is really just common knowledge at this point.

E: looks like the CCP has even infiltrated the mods of this community.

Yet another great reason to Pirate

Good, they suck at it anyway. And podcasts are one of those rare things in this day and age that is federated, truly "open" and also mainstream so fuck them for trying to ruin that.

What are purge lines for?

To purge the system?

The reason is called the Digital Markets Act.
