      Sadly not always anymore. Publishers are esuring more and more of the game’s actual content and logic is kept serverside, even if the game is supposedly single player. Bypassing DRM on such games only gets you a lobotomised client shell and is a core argument behind the SKG initiative and general presevation efforts.

      What’s the context on this? Having a hard time finding anything

      Edit: looks like Metal Gear Solid, Psycho Mantis flight. I only see stuff about changing the controller port though, AI slop summary says you can win the fight by “inspecting the game case or switching ports” but doesn’t say what inspecting the case accomplishes and I don’t see anyone else mentioning it.
