Plutonium

LidoFen my man doesn't knows just how overpriced cod games on steam are

iwtr-nny imagine being racist on plutonium forums. Most cringe thing i have seen in a while.

Xerxes Plutonium not checking for DLC ownership gives Activision a good enough reason to potentially give it a C&D.

The thing is, Pluto is bigger than XLabs. While you may think that steam ownership check will 100% save you, it won't. Why? Because you still hosted torrents for almost 5 years at this point and Activision 100% knows about it. You are bigger than XLabs and you really think Activision doesn't knows about you hosting torrents for 5 years? If they really cared about piracy, you would've got C&D in the span of those 5 years or, hell, in the span of those 3 months when we still could've used pirated copies of the games. XLabs got C&D because it was selling access to BOIII client on their patreon first and foremost. SM2 got C&D because of the piracy yes, but then again, SM2 is basically a whole new COD game on MW2/MWR engine.

I agree that we should encourage people buying games. That's why we should make it like that:

1. Don't host torrents on plutonium website. If people wanna use pluto with a pirated copy, they would need to find that copy themselves.
2. Don't give any support until person asking for support verifies ownership of the game on steam. So, if person playing a pirated copy wants to get client support, require them to buy a copy of the game.
3. Leave ownership checks for dedicated server owners. So you are gonna need to buy the game if you want to host your own dedicated servers.

This, while encouraging people to actually buy the game, won't be as unfair to people who live in places where 45$ (in BO2 case, on sale with season pass) is a lot of money.
