wrong. you never owned windows. you always owned a right to use the software... nothing more.. maybe read the terms at least once instead of jumping onto the hype train.
Microsoft could, but probably won't prevent users from playing pirated games

Like any product, you are bound by the EULA, which I bet you probably didn't read? It's a bit hypocritical to condemn MSFT when you didn't even bother to read the Terms and Conditions of their product.

they intentionally make the EULA long and vaguely worded so people don't read them. I don't have a semester to read 1,000 pages of garbage written by a team of lawyers. Just the fact that they force us to sign our rights away to use software that we paid for is offensive, but what choice do we have? Linux? 95% of the software I've paid for over the last several years wont work on Linux and I don't have time to go around extracting binaries in to every corner of linus's ***. The real problem here is that I had already adopted their ecosystem before the change to their EULA, which is unfair to the consumer. Of course, they have a clause in their EULA about how it's subject to change at anytime. This very practice is anti-consumer and should be downright illegal.

I don't have a google account and the only service I use of theirs is youtube, which I don't really care if they know what I watch because I'm behind a VPN 90% of the time. I also didn't invest thousands of dollars in google's ecosystem. I don't necessarily disagree with the idea of a EULA, it's just how companies abuse the power that a EULA gives them.

they wouldn't do that, they would loose all gaming marketshare within few months. However I am more worried about new startups and smaller brands not being able to get certified unless they shell out licensing fees to allow their hardware on Windows.

I think you under estimate the incompetence of microsoft. Judging by the continued windows screw ups, Nadella is about as adept as ballmer when it comes to windows. One liked to shove things down your throat while the other wants to gather, sell, and use every last bit of information you have.
How exactly woud MS loose gaming market share? PC Gamers have no other viable platform. At worst, windows piracy would increase.
If microsoft implements any walled garden crap on windows, they would loose a large portion of users and businesses. MS cannot limit hardware without severe backlash.

$75 + tax = $85 per game.
that's not even the game with all DLC. We are talking over $115 for the REAL FULL game.
That's ridiculous. The prices are sky high.
Inflation is on the rise
Unemployment is bad
The economy is falling apart with no jobs
No wonder people pirate.
If everyone did it then of course the games industry would collapse.
Someone needs to chop off some dicks to stop this overpopulation exponential growth ****. Or implement a one child policy, or something. That's less painful
I"m just complaining about the world now lol
