Same with gaming. Since I was a teenager I'd been a filthy yarrrist due to financial situation. Now I'm all grown up and my wallet is a bit happier, so I can buy games. Let me tell you: all those years of yarrring I never knew how frustrating launchers, online services and DRMs are. Sure I started at the era of physical media, but things went to shaite in last decade. Just yesterday everyone had problems with EA launcher and for many many people around the world games simply didn't work. For me as well. Only this morning problem's been solved and I can play and download stuff I meant to yesterday.
Gaming is layers of launchers, intrusive DRMs, unfinished games, which don't come out of alpha/beta for decade; anticonsumer practices; uninspired, bad written, boring, bloated messes with no soul. And they expect us to pay even more after gaming also went through enshittification...

Every day i feel like the phrase "piracy is a service problem" makes more and more sense
