I just add these through Mihon and read everything free. Got tired of their shit quickly.
Statements like this are loosely playing with the term “vegan” I feel.
Lots of people follow a vegan diet, but aren’t vegan in the strict sense.
You won’t see those people in communities like these.
Another way that needs a credit card:
Make a disposable e-mail, sign up for a month trial for Qobuz or Tidal and use a program like StreamRip to just download high-quality music straight from the platform.
When the trial ends, just make a new e-mail and repeat.
Someone mentioned Lucida here, which is more straightforward, but I found it slow and often failing. Once you’re signed up, downloading is easy and it’s the easiest way to get more obscure stuff in high quality.
I can already imagine someone raving about this fantastic design on LinkedIn

While this would be great for those “online needed to play” games, wouldn’t this also lead to companies preferring subscription models?
I’d assume it’s easier to not include multiplayer in the “base” game and just charge a monthly subscription for the online part. Now the proposed law wouldn’t apply, since the customer only paid for the base game.
It’s pretty obvious what the intention of the writers of the proposal is, but I feel like it could have an opposite effect and push even more to the “games as a service” model those greedy publishers so desperately want.
