I’ve been getting into mass effect trilogy finally, and since I don’t own a gaming pc, I like to play through GeForce Now.
Well, just now I had some things come up a couple of times a row and I quit my game a few times, and now I can’t continue because of some sort of lock mechanism against playing on multiple computers…?
Did not know this is a thing, but I have a few vacation days and wanted to get this series properly started, so it’s a little bit annoying. Who knows how long I have to wait?
Ugh…
Edit:
Talking with EA support, they informed me that the wait is 24 hours. Jesus christ that is long for something like this. There goes my vacation day opportunity…
Edit2:
Wow! The customer support really pulled through, suggested they request a password change on my account from their side.
Turns out, this seems to toggle that flag, and I could now start the game! Hooray! Akash, my man, you saved the day! Cheers 🍻
I’m 100% for piracy, but you forgot the step where the game you’re pirating has been provided by 1500 other trackers and 1461 of those have been modified to bundle malware/spyware/ransomware…etc many users may never notice it, a lot will be caught by antivirus, but some will not.
Edit: I’m a software dev branching into security. The more I learn the harder it gets to find the actual source for cracked software and the more I notice just how sketch most are.
Example: It’s not a great policy to eat whatever food you find first, regardless of where it was and who made it, and hope your immune system (antivirus example) takes care of it. Eventually you’ll get burnt.
It sounds like you’ve been browsing some pretty sketchy websites. I have yet to find malware bundled in torrents from trustworthy trackers. And I’ve been pirating for many years.
