New comment by pebble in "New Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra"

I do remember the M1 chips being uniquely capable in this aspect compared to later chips but when I say decent displays I meant 3x 120hz 4k screens with HDR on at least one.

Last year when I was browsing the only recentish Apple silicon capable of driving that was the M3 Ultra.

I think piracy is besides the point here. Most people will pay for a month, finish the game they wanted to play and then cancel. This goes for both pirates and land lovers. What MS has in the end is a game sold for a fraction of the price and no customer conversion to subscriber.

So people should be getting financially ruined to god-forbid prevent some abuse of the system? As long as there is no abuse everything else is hunky-dory?

I see nothing here rebuking the above claim. Maybe you would’ve had better luck coming up with something if you had bothered to write it yourself.
