Absolutely.

I just picked up Fallout 2 at GOG for $2.49. There are so many games you can get for less than the price of a coffee. The best way to fight against these prices is to simply not buy.

I’m old enough to remember when Doom 64 for the N64 was $74.99. In today’s money that’s around $145.

I’m not saying that’s reasonable, I’m just saying it used to be a lot worse in the cartridge age.

I suppose I might not understand the question then. To me having root is more important. I guess I’d say why not? I do not use any functionality that stops working due to SafetyNet or whatever.

I have root on this phone I’m using to post. I’m also running LineageOS 21.

The reason I do this is because this is my phone and I’ll be in control of it. Also I want to keep my phone running as long as possible. I’m still using a Pixel 2 XL.

Now if only I could get my employer to stop supporting obsolete platforms…
