      • Sailing the High Seas on Linux - Why and How [Original Version]

        You don't really own your games - do something about it.

        This video was taken down on YouTube and had to be replaced by a censored version.

        Yes I know this is likely to be taken down. YOLO. [original YouTube description]

        00:00 Companies DGAF about game preservation

        00:42 "Buying games" is a lie
        03:03 Therefore, piracy is justified
        03:37 Most games run on an OS that can't be trusted
        04:14 Linux + Proton is the solulu
        04:44 Proton is tricky to use without corpo crap
        05:26 Lutris fixes that
        06:43 This is all just a game
        07:03 Step 1: Expropriate your game
        08:13 Step 2: Install the game with Lutris
        11:38 Developers still need to eat
