Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the author or just wants to skim through it, he will download the book.

He usually doesn’t like to pirate from small companies or professors who are trying to make a living by selling books, but from millionaires & plenty of mega corps which already have loads of money, he feels like it’s the right move to pirate

Also, have you ever noticed that you have felt that the value of a product has decreased just because you didn’t pay for it, thus you are less interested to read it? i.e., had you paid for the book, you would have more likely read that book.

He says he will buy stuff when his time is more valuable than money, let’s all hope that day is soon.

What are your piracy habits?

    No, it is just a launch parameter on the .exe file

    It works in steam for certain, maybe it will work as a launch parameter on the .exe. Just add it at the end of Target in the shortcut properties, so it should look like this:

    "game_location\bin\bg3.exe" --skip-launcher

      Maybe that might work with the GOG launcher shortcut, depends if GOG use the same syntax.

      I just checked though and I was running LariLauncher.exe, which is what GOG normally directs to. I guess I just didn’t check, I think there was a shortcut already in the install folder and I copied that and replaced the GOG shortcut. In the bin folder there’s bg3.exe and bg3_dx11.exe, those are the real game files.

        I’ll add that the DX11 version is reportedly offering more stable performance, unless you really want to use Vulkan, it should be preferred.
