I wasn’t saying you can’t play them, just that you don’t own them. This is still true with DRM free games. GOG’s agreement is different to Steam’s in that you own your purchase
You don’t think you own every house with an unlocked front door, do you?
If you’re earning money from the aforementioned editing, you can justify the absolute best CPU money can buy, though a 10% cheaper 9950X will match it. When it comes to gaming, it’s so far beyond any imaginable performance requirement, you legitimately might never need to buy another CPU again, and in this it is matched by the 17% cheaper 9800X3D.
If I were you, and assuming you make money from editing, I’d save the couple hundred bucks and get the 9950X (non3D) because there are very, VERY, limited real-world scenarios in which the 3D variant will outperform the non3D (gaming or otherwise)
