I’m glad you found your way here but FFS stop whining about John Oliver! Reddit mods are doing this for the greater good, the same reason why many of us are pirates, GREEDY CORPORATIONS.
People like you are the reason why Reddit will eventually win, grow up.
I’ve had zero issues with Fitgirl and DODI repacks on Windows 11. Since last October I played: RDR2, RE2, RE3, RE4, Howard’s Legacy, Dirt 5, F1 22, Mortal Kombat 11 and more.
This is total BS, if anything, tap water is considerably better in those countries.
