Piracy is the first thing that comes to my mind when a game is georestriced or the performance is lowered due to copy protection stuff. I don’t even feel bad about it. The company wouldn’t have made any money from me whatsoever.
This sounds like a great time for someone who knows how to pirate games to post a really good guide. Safety is important when sidestepping dipshit politicians.
True. This isn’t a moral issue, they will not earn money from me either way since i cannot buy the game here, and I still will pirate it if the ban goes through (it most likely will) but i lose out on stuff like achievements and ease of downloading etc. So it’s mainly unnecessary inconvenience
At this point my best bet is to pray they either remove the scene or KSA just turns a blind eye.
I do hope you get to play and enjoy the game, but no way should the developer compromise on their vision of the game just to comply with a fucked-up morality regulation.
Yeah sorry, i don’t agree at all with it due to me being much more progressive than others here, but a shit ton of stuff is banned here and KCD would be the last straw for me :(
I feel for you OP, I hope we all get to live in the more accepting world we deserve someday.
Apologies as well if my previous comment also sounds a bit unsympathetic, which was not my intention but it does to me on a re-read. I’m sure there’s a lot more discomfort that comes with living under these kinds of rules than just what games you are or aren’t allowed to play that I did not give enough consideration to.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
Yeah i’m just devastated. Now i can’t play it. I mean, unless if i pirate it 🏴☠️
But pirating games just doesn’t have the same ring to it ngl.

Go-to #1 is definitely the r/piracy megathread. My personal #2 is a 2gb/s external SSD and a dedicated exe-downloading laptop.

Thank you, and it’s no problem.
You are right that there is more discomfort to me than just games (god i miss wolfenstein too 😭) But i will be fine.
I’ll see about pirating the game.
