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 🍻

    Shoplifting is actually stealing. You’re taking something away from the vendor. Piracy doesn’t actually take anything physically from the vendor.

    Besides, if I can’t actually buy it (only a license to use it), then it’s not possible to steal it.

      The mental gymnastics people use to excuse themselves of their entitlement continues to amaze me.

        Interesting, because the inability of people to understand basic concepts continues to disappoint me.

          For what it’s worth, I never argued that shoplifting isn’t stealing. I only pointed out the absurdity of the argument that piracy is justified.

          Feel free to educate me on the basic concepts I’m failing to understand.
