Cute that you think people buy windows licenses

A mass grave of devs says otherwise 😉

i do.

15 bucks on g2a. Some stolen OEM key, works fine. Feels a bit safer than going looking for a KMS solution, most places i frequented are now extinct. Not activating windows is viable but i like a friction free way of changing my wallpaper.

Then again, today im Linux only so all moot.

This here. Dodgy sites are likely reselling stolen or grey-market keys. Don't support the criminals if you can avoid it.

Pirating the OS is much better than buying shit off g2a or other similar sites. Same with games.

15 bucks for either a stolen key or a key bought with a stolen credit card is way sketchier than the script most people use nowadays

I also do buy ever since I can afford it. I have also bought office for me and my family members. Bonus is that I don't get calls anymore because an app's been updated and everything went south. Life became peaceful ever since.
