The censored one is probably Niger

    Paid VPNs are dirt cheap worldwide. You’re all absolutely being crybabies. If you can already afford a PC capable of playing HD2, you can afford a few bucks a year for a reputable VPN.

    But hey, it’s okay. In a couple days, the TikTok/YouTube influencers will find the next shiny piece of inconsequential PC gamer ragebait, and you’ll all move onto that.

      You have actual clueless first-worlder logic

      If 60 to 160 USD per year is “dirt cheap” to you, you have absolutely no place to speak. Hundreds of dollars over the course of 5 years just to circumvent stupid geolocation restrictions and nothing else – about the same cost to twice the cost of a low-to-mid range gaming PC BTW – is not affordable to most people. How do you compare basically throwing away hundreds of USD yearly opposed to a one-time purchase of an important utility in the modern age? How do you view that as cheap for people in countries where that could be a large chunk or most of their salary? Are people not allowed to buy expensive things for themselves rarely and actually enjoy them without having an unnecessary subscription expense tacked on just because they were born in a poorer county?

      How would you feel if I told you there were a “fuck you” fee of 10% of the cost of your house every year just because you’re American or Canadian or British or some shit, on top of your income & property taxes? I mean you’re a homeowner so you can obviously afford it.
