• Buying a computer the manufacturer pays Microsoft for isn’t exactly paying Microsoft when that’s how the manufacturers choose to handle it.

    If it was the user’s choice instead of the manufacturer’s that would be different, but it’s not. I’m not responsible for them buying a copy of windows with their money any more than I’m responsible for it if my mechanic buys a copy of windows with the money from changing my oil, unless I’m paying extra for a mechanic who charges extra to do that.

    Also, nobody needs cloud gaming. You can play Fallout New Vegas on your phone, with mods, and pirated for $0

      Not my phone but I get what you mean. I have an iPhone. I actually do have a Galaxy S10, so I’m kinda curious about that project. (I’d rather play Fallout 3 though. Also I don’t need to pirate it, I own it on GOG, Steam, and Xbox.)
