Normally I replace my computers when after around 5 years when crucial components start to fail. Replaced 1 that had a damaged motherboard, replaced 1 with a harddisk that started showing failures and had a broken videocard, etc.
My Windows 7 pc got replaced just after 3 years with a Windows 8.1 pc. It's just over hafl a year old and will be replaced in about 2.5-3 years. Unfortunately probably with a Windows 10 pc.
The W7 and W8 are still working and won't go back online ever. Even if W10 doesn't improve (esp. privacy wise) and Denuvo and the likes become common, my GOG backlog will keep me busy for years to come.

Maybe 3DM members became religious. :D

According to that I must "pirate" like there is no tomorrow; I don't. Not worth my time as much as online drmd single-player games are not worth my time and money.

Meanwhile at 3DM....

"In the near future, 3DM will announce a solution to Denuvo, which will support games including FIFA 16, Just Cause 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Of course, we would not announce the release formally(as a 3DM release) nor with high exposure (to not attract attention)

This is because many people believed that we gave up due to the lack of technical skills. This will be proof that it is not true, and we have not yet been stumped by any challenge we faced"

Rofl....
