I really felt cheated that no one was insulted, no rants were frothed, no theories conspiracied in this nfo. All we got was relevant information and kindness.
I'm kidding obvs

I love that pirate groups still use ascii text art in their release notes. It’s like a little piece of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.
I need to find out how to make these. Mostly just cause I like it.
On Linux, you'll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)
Alternatively you've got this online frontend
If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this

I know you're 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious

Im not pre-ordering piracy either.
Im waiting for the reviews.
The review embargo was lifted with the start of the early access, meaning that all the regular review channels that received review copies have already posted their content.

To be fair it's the exact same bypass as any other Steam game. Any steam emulator would work.

"Cracked" meaning having replaced a dll file
Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg
Bethesda games usually don't go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)
I have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.

I would think that it's cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.
Plus I don't think it was protected to start with for modding purposes. People will be flying around in Thomas the Tank Engine by the end of next week.
For these reasons, I'd rather buy Bethesda games. As a company, they aren't assholes. I'd hate for them to get bought out by ea or something like all the rest.
Yes, that would be terrible for them to be bought by somebody like MS.

You forgot Fallout76 and their own shitty launcher, well and the fact that Microsoft bought them already...

My only beef with them is their complete disregard for QA but, in the end, they're right.
We'll do it for them.
Well, and watering down the social commentary in their Fallouts to an absurd degree.
Can't wait for Fallout 5 to say "AKSHUALLY, it was all China's fault and capitalism is based and Vault Tec was justified. Join the Brotherhood or die, trash."

Eagerly waiting for the videos of every Starfield's fade-to-black screen transitioning back into Skyrim's opening
WTF?! The game is not even released on steam yet? Are they cracking the preloaded version?
AFAIK the digital deluxe edition allows you to start playing 5 days early.
Why would you want to play a Bethesda game 5 days early? The best time is several months after release, when the community has had time to fix the bugs.
There is no "play 5 days early". The game launched on 1st of September. But those who can't afford to shell out 100 Euros have to wait 5 more days. Microsoft did the same bullshit with Forza. I didn't like it back then, I won't like it now.
I was playing it last night on steam. I needed a new GPU recently and it came with a code to download it. 🤷♂️

“Pirates? I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the gazillion sales we're about to make.” —Bethesda, probably
*Already made. They've got like 200k+ $100 deluxe version sales already, the base game hasn't even officially launched

Did starfield not have denuvo drm. I thought most Bethesda games did.
None of them do. It would fuck with people's ability to make mods for them.

Bethesda Game Studios games don't have DRM like Denuvo. BGS and Bethesda Softworks are two different entities. ID, MachineGames and other Zenimax studios tend to have DRM, not BGS.
On the other hand, didn't Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched? So what would they even protect, 76?
