      So isn’t that tantamount to letting the ghouls purchase culture away from us ?
      500 years into the future the only thing we’ll be playing is offline games from 1984-2014
      What a sad ending for humans !

        Very few games require malware. They are not adding this requirement now, it was already there. American company requiring you to install malware to use their products is no better than a Saudi company. So who will be affected by this? A few dudes who pretend they like freedom but still install malware game on a malware os?
