   Holy crap, I was just watching a video from a Brazillian guy talking about the Hydra Launcher (a software that facilitates pirating games, it's basically the "pirate Steam").
   And for fucks sake, the guy started sperging about the "revolutionary, anti capitalist aspect of piracy" and how "it shows what we can do without the constraints of money and following the socialist ideal" and shit like that, and I cringed so hard I almost turned myself inside out.
   
   Honestly, it was a better anti piracy ad than the usual anti piracy ads. I'm way more motivated to pay for my software now, piracy is cringe and gay.
   
   If it was not ruined for you yet, the Hydra github can be found here, the project is open source.

     IIRC the Russians cs.rin.ru/ have a "steam without steam" program too, that basically just removes the steam DRM, it doesn't defeat the other types of DRM though (haven't used in awhile).
     If you wanna go full retard anti capitalist steam should be at the bottom of the list when EA, Ubisoft, Epic etc. exist.

     @Suzu @kamehamic True anti-capitalism is when you remove censor bars and mosaics of eroge and host them on Chinese torrent sites.

     @Suzu @kamehamic I'm in the mood of watching Shimoneta after contemplating this.
