Oh… Crap. 😅

They’ve also had server issues that caused games to be permanently removed from users’ libraries. Free to keep on a bad service isn’t reliable. Whoever clings to their EGS account for the freebies should backup (and patch if needed) the games they intend to keep. Same thing with some games bough from Ubisoft and EA apps. But don’t bother with anything purchased through a Microsoft app. That’s burnt money.

It’s a very personal decision. I won’t say someone’s braver or stupider for coming forward in support or confession of doing something that might be interpreted as illegal today or down the road. But that person, if chased by authorities, could either become a head on a flag or a head on a pike. They could become the reason everyone pushes back or the reason everyone runs and hides.
So I’d say, under doubt start with an alias. Own it publicly when you’re confident doing so will improve things for yourself and others.

Each EU country and state has a different set of laws. Think of it this way: if authoritarian jerks always had it their way it would be illegal to use an ad-blocker, send encrypted messages to your contacts, own a house, get a prescription for much needed medicine or even sit close to a person of a different skin color.
In uncertain times use pseudonyms, hide your tracks, keep things clean and tidy and leave your own party early.
But please if you’re sure the info you’re sharing could benefit most people break free from the abuse of, let’s say some Big Tech company, keep it up and count with my blessing. 💪💛

I also played Mabinogi Duel and felt pretty hurt about it’s demise. Worst thing about these games as usually happens with app store titles is they were games as a service, with frequent online checks and so on, so the only way of playing them today would be to find a cracked/modded .apk file (might need a download for the obb folder) that doesn’t require any online checks and pray it’s still compatible with your smartphone’s firmware version. For now, I found Steam user Gooby shared these assets when working on a mod for Tabletop Simulator.

I played the Cabals games too on PC and mobile. Sad thing to see them go without proper credits. Here’s the game’s profile on MobyGames. You can also search for Cabals: Card Blitz there.
I remember searching for both games’ videos on YT years ago but they’re either deleted or buried.

Wait for the next big Steam sale and go wild.
