    Ah yes, the famous DRM.

    Some launchers allow you to play fully offline, but only after you’ve authenticated and started the game at least once with a real Microsoft account. The launcher has a sophisticated validation mechanism to ensure this: a single boolean value stored in a JSON file. Set that to true and you’re good to go.

      And yet the Microsoft account migration which can be easily defeated by a JSON file according to you has attracted a class action lawsuit. Curious. Almost as if circumventing it is not my point.

        Official Prism requires you to sign in with a Microsoft account at least once. But since Prism is open source, you can also download unofficial builds with no Microsoft anything whatsoever.
