Can I get an indefinitely fully-functional trial version of the bag first?
TIL they have a Linux version of WinRAR
Missed opportunity to call it LinRar
I would honestly buy one if it wasn’t $150. That’s so much.
The whole site has similar prices… those sweaters are cool but not $250 cool
Ironically so is the price of WinRaR licence when free, better alternatives exist.
WinRAR was the saviour of every inexperienced Minecraft mod enthusiast, though
7zip all the way, especially back then!
Back when winrar existed and 7-zip didn’t?
The answer to that question: “by never buying a WinRAR bag?”
I actually really like winrar. Is it my format of choice? No, there’s open free alternatives. But it was a legit better product developed by like one guy that they then proceeded to give free access to with a license that incentivises paying them for their work and has probably raked in insane sums from corporations over the years. It’s what happens when you have a Microsoft like idea without the endless greed to sprawl into a billion dollar company.
It wasn’t a better product, it was worse in every measurable way but one: You could split archives into arbitrary sizes so you could steal warez off Usenet in 1-floppy chunks. That’s it. It’s a ho-hum product at best.
Winrar definitely compresses better than zip. At least based on my experience.
For that price, does it compress anything you put in the bag?
Yeah that’s called a bag of holding and it would be worth 1000x that. Hell I’d probably save up all my Pennie’s for that.
I’m troubled by that literal brick of leaf cards
I bought it decades ago, but lost my product key. 😞
I bought WinRAR, for a pretty specific reason: It can handle Japanese locale. The assorted games, patches, manga, and so forth couldn’t be handled by 7zip/PeaZip at the time.
This actually looks like a really nice bag though lol I might actually buy this if it were a bit cheaper
Its stupid.
There is no usability or design, it’s a box on a rope. They didn’t even try.
They should sell a t-shirt that says “I never paid for WinRAR and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”.
I’d buy one.
They should also make a shirt that says, “I did buy WinRAR and I also bought this shirt” to really corner the market on WinRAR-related apparel.
I like it!!
“I paid for WinRAR” with a Mister Moneybags kinda character saying it or something. That would be fun.
Tbh I never found out about 7zip until like when I was 30. And I’m 33 now xd. I used WinRAR for years.
And I will say, 7zip is much better. No offense to WinRAR. I got much respect for WinRAR.
You’ve never paid for WinRAR because you’re cheap. I’ve never paid for WinRAR because I know 7-Zip exists.
We are not the same.
