I’m about 40 and have used them as demos for some time. There are a ton of games I’ve ended up buying that I never would’ve due to piracy. Maybe I’m all alone, but when finances are tight, I QUIT pirating games so I won’t find another I love.

Also I’m firmly in the “I bought it, so I should own it camp.” I have quite a few games that I’ll buy, but still use the pirated version because it doesn’t need the internet, or need to spend an hour updating every time I want to play.

It might help to explain what it is if you want people to use it.

I was getting ready to tell you how amazing 3 was (first I played), how I can barely remember 4, thought 5 was pretty good, and something about 6 - then I realized I don’t remember 6 at all. Zero idea. Maybe I played it and it ran in with 5?

While I can’t directly help you, I do know that unless you have some insane rig, you’ll never be able to transcode 4k. Which means, the player is by far the most important.

I haven’t messed with it in some time, but for awhile everyone basically only recommended an Nvidia shield because it seemed to direct stream nearly everything.
