I've been pirating for twenty years and you do kind of just stick with it even when you can afford stuff.
That said, when I reinstalled Windows a while ago, I was fannying about for aaaaaages trying to get a cracked version of Office to work when I suddenly realised I could just buy it for a tenner and not have to fuck about 😂 It hadn't occurred to me before
Yeah office is literally the only thing that's not worth it. Lifetime office 2019 is like 20 euro. This will die out with the subscription shit taking place though
Wasn't it like 120€ ten years ago?
they might be talking about those questionably-legal licenses off ebay
Idk. It's a real website and Company that I pay. But the license itself could be sus.
Yep, it's likely a sus licence, but when it eventually refuses to work, a quick phone call to MS and they just say "Fuck it, go on then". Call centre people don't care where you got it 😅
