VMware can no longer be downloaded directly.

[Alkomahooli]

In today's world, a virtual machine that can be downloaded with just one click has turned into a nightmare. When you click to download, it asks for your Broadcom account and requires you to log in. Then, it asks for an address when you try to download.

It's truly a disaster. I have been using VMware for years, but now it's time to switch to VirtualBox.

This is ridiculous:
