Excuse me while I go bleach my eye holes.

I've had the odd stability issue every now and then. (There was one ongoing issue with my wifi that was caused by a bug in my manufacturer's driver, but that was years ago on Windows 10, and they eventually fixed it.) But I honestly haven't had any issues caused specifically by Microsoft recently that I can recall.

Any problems caused by major features updates are usually solved by simply reinstalling the driver. (And I haven't had any of those sorts of problems in at least a couple years.)

It... only updates once a month, though. The second Tuesday of every month.

Any other updates are from the manufacturer/ software developer and not from Microsoft.

OP didn't mention games that have Denuvo in them. They simply mentioned pre-ordering games.

And before anyone says this is a post about Denuvo, OP's comment was phrased in such a way that it could sound like, "Why would anyone pre-order games in the first place in 2024, regardless of whether or not it has Denuvo?"

I said I hardly ever buy PC games.

If I'm interested in a PC-only game, I check GOG first, then I check Steam. I will rarely ever pre-order a PC game.

Edit: Also, I appreciate the (probably unintentional) Attack on Titan reference.

ten years at least.

If you haven't seen the show, don't look it up. It's a spoiler.

Honestly, if I can, I always get physical. If I buy a digital copy, there's no guarantee that the store I bought it from won't take it back or something like that.

Yeah, it's still pretty common for big publishers to sell their games physically. Games from smaller devs that self-publish are usually only sold digitally, though they can sometimes end up getting published physically later on if they get popular enough.

Edit: Or were you talking about Best Buy and Amazon selling physical games?

Wasn't ten years ago just Chrome, though?

I think you mean 20 years ago.

That's actually a good example of a game I initially pre-ordered but then cancelled because I didn't like what I saw in later trailers.
