If I’m traveling I usually don’t mind, but if it becomes late I just say I’m tired and go back to the hotel. Which is true since usually when I travel for work it’s too many timezones away, so I’m zombified very early and it shows.

That being said one time there was a local celebration during working hours, we all went to the pub, we were having beers and snacks when 18h rolls over and I stand up, say my goodbyes and start to leave, most just wave me and that was that, but one of those extremely social guys said “where do you think you’re going?” to which I replied “it’s 18h, work is over” as I was walking through the door. I could hear people laughing before the door was fully shut and no one cared one bit about it. Most people who enjoy those sort of things will enjoy them even if you’re not there, so don’t ruin your day and your sleep to try to please others.

But how is it checking the hardware, I have more permissions than the game on my machine, I can very easily make it believe it’s running in a Deck unless it tries to use specific instructions that my hardware doesn’t have (which I highly doubt)

How does it know you’re on the deck? I gave a gut feeling that that should be easily bypassable.
