Hello mateys,

I come to share a short tale that I’m sure a lot of you can relate to. I bought Halo: MCC on Steam ages ago, and I got the itch to revisit my favorite childhood shooter so I installed it. When I went to launch it, I had to log into my Microsoft account and it kept giving me a super non-descript error “A problem occurred, please try again later”

So instead of trying again later, I asked my favorite fitness enthusiast repacker for a copy, and now I’m installing a pirated copy of a game I already own, just because this hellscape of crappy broken launchers and DRM protection is so anti-consumer that it makes it impossible to play some titles.

Anyway, happy plundering, stay safe out there!
