You can try and it may work because a lot of games on Steam and Epic barely use the DRM.
I have portable installations of several games from Epic that I moved between Windows installs that just work by executing the game’s binary
The issue with Steam is that some games do use the Steam DRM to verify additional content, but even there are ways to bypass that in two ways.
- The game files already include the DLC you just need Steam’s license to activate. In this case you just need to crack the DLC.
- The game files do NOT include the DLC. In this case you could try installing the DLC from a DRM-free source or just copy the missing files from another installation. (This was a way to bypass the limitations of some demos using denuvo, mixed with a mod to bypass integrity checks)

yeah most games don’t have any DRM related to DLC on Steam
DRM on steam most of the time is limited to the base game and sometimes you can just run the binary without Steam
Even on games with denuvo you can use tools to pirate DLC (I did this for SMTVV)

Oh that makes sense, in this case it would need something like a toggle to only share data on WIFI, kinda like Google Photos and Immich do
Maybe predownload videos on WIFI (Tiktok already has this function) and only use mobile data for comments and replies, and asking the user in case they are on mobile data if they want to download videos on demand.
Anyways, I was thinking on ways to make it work. Thanks for the explanation.

I don’t get it, isn’t sharing videos generating data usage? I need to check how that works

I think they will take this to court instead of paying, it sets a precedent otherwise.

I used to think like this until I found out you can explain a lot of chemical interactions by just knowing how the electron structure of atoms lead to those reactions. Helpful when you try to wonder if anything could be toxic.

Oh I get that, being AuDHD I got issues with different kinds of addiction, right now I just eat a lot and smoke a lot of weed.
Hope you recover soon but I’m gonna be honest with you, drugs are not the only thing you can be addicted to and delegating research/tasks to a LLM can be addicting

Tencent? The same company that commissioned an AI generated video for League of Legends Wild Rift 3rd anniversary and it was so bad Riot had to come out and say they didn’t make at it?
