"Conscious Existence" Breaks Records Before Sale: Should Office Workers Still Buy It?

Finally got to turn on my computer and relax on Saturday afternoon, only to hear this game had leaked early. Capcom is moving quite fast this time, with the official release set for April 17. Didn't expect hackers to act even sooner, bypassing encryption to extract the files. We office workers value our time and don't want to hassle with these troubles.

Heard that this crack doesn't require brute-forcing the kernel, instead using virtual machine technology to bypass it. But this trick has a major catch: you have to disable system security protections. To save a few hundred yuan on the game, letting your computer run unprotected carries too much risk. After all, losing data is far more costly than the game itself; you need to do the math clearly.

On second thought, the plot is quite ironic; the protagonist is also a robot invading devices. Real hackers are invading, and in the game, the robot is invading devices too. This coincidence is bittersweet, as if reality is more absurd than the game. We play games for fun, not to live in fear. Why should ordinary players take risks just to play a pirated version?

How should I put it? For those of you who only have free time on weekends, a stable experience is most important. Piracy might crash halfway through, ruining your entire weekend mood—it's not worth it. The official version costs money, but it saves worry and effort and allows online play. It's better value than ordering takeout; at least it guarantees these two hours won't be interrupted.

So I suggest waiting for the official fix patch before buying; it's safer. Capcom will definitely strengthen protection later, making the experience more complete. The money we earn from working hard should be spent where it counts. This game is worth playing, but you need to access it the right way. Weekend time is too short to afford any waste.
