I think for me, it’s because it’s sort-of (though not!) self-archiving.
If a site has a reasonable amount of popularity and subscriptions, it would take that site going down, plus all the sites that communicated with it, for the data to be fully lost.
Not to mention that a lot of the sites are run by reasonably altruistic people, who are more likely to hand over than just shutter.
At least you can roll back the drivers on a computer.
It’s even more infuriating when a TV manufacturer rolls out an update with “bug fixes and improvements”, and you know full well that if they broke ARC again, there is no going back to the old version.
That is interesting. I was hoping at the end of the year that the GOTY version might drop down a bit.
But it sounds like I’ll be waiting a lot longer. Perhaps my best bet is to pay £25 for the base game, then get the DLC in a year or so when I have time again!
