It's been a while since you actually owned a copy of the game you bought.
Anyone here remember SecuROM Limited Lifetime Activations? You had a limited amount of times you could activate a single copy tied to some magic unknown hardware ID and if you ran out of activations their solution was that you need to go buy a new copy.
Accepting the reality is a necessity for you to be able to fix it. You can live in the delusion if you want but companies have been pushing this bullshit far longer than this GaaS shit that is ongoing right now. Voting with your wallet no longer works thanks to the large enough customer base these grifter companies have. Gaming is mainstream and normies will not react until it affects them personally, remember that and remember it well because no one gives a shit what some jaded techies say until it is too late and then the fight is harder and the ship turns so slow.
So... thank you for agreeing with this lawsuit? We have accepted what the reality (boycotts won't work and merely complaining or asking nicely won't work) and are now suing to attempt to fix it.
This is literally what governments are for.
And here is the thing, that was literally illegal. What Ubisoft is doing here is actually illegal too. It's just that the common folk don't have enough money to actually take these companies to court and get them punished for doing these illegal things.
Now a line has to actually be drawn regarding to digital game "ownership." At the very least, if companies want to maintain a standard of procedure that we are merely paying to rent access to a service, then they cannot use the terms "buy" and "purchases." Store front such as Steam, Origin, EGS will have to replace the word "buy" with "rent." An EU court case almost went through that would've forced them to do this exact same thing.
It is just a simple word change, not a function change, so what are they afraid of with simply being forced to correct some of their terminology?
Probably the same irrational fear of piracy being a bigger deal than it is, or at least their stockholders thinking so.
They could very easily do just that and the average invalid that actually plays ubisoft crap wouldn't care in the slightest, as long as they are playing the game they have it.
i've got a whole shelf full of games i own. it feels great knowing i have an actual cartridge i can always pop in and play instead of worrying about my digital rental license running out

Gaslighting and demoralization.
If you're not getting paid for posting this trite, I actually pity you.
You're likely too young to have even owned a physical pc game
>muh age
Just shut your b***h mouth, mr late 20s. Guaranteed I'm older than you.
>doesn't know what securom was
definitely not lmao

If they say the silent part aloud before everyone is nice and comfortable with the idea of obsolence of ownership, the jig is up.
>SecuROM
kek I remember how Star Wolves had to receive a patch from the devs that disabled SecuROM so you could actually play the game.
>ubisoft
>uplay
>ever
could simply never be me
This....
At worst just pirate the thing
You cant? then dont even bother
Agreed but we should also sue them anyway.
I have never paid for a ubisoft product.
i've got a whole shelf full of games i own. it feels great knowing i have an actual cartridge i can always pop in and play instead of worrying about my digital rental license running out
I haven't bought a Ubisoft game since Rayman Origins
PC gaming is finished. Going digital is low IQ
But all my games are digital
And that is why I have not bought a Ubishit game in over a decade.
🙁
>willingly buy scamware
>surprised they pull the rug under you later
Big thunk moment there buddy.
>people deserve to be taken advantage of by megacorps because they can't see 10 years into the future
ok shill
The solution is simple. Buy only from GOG. DRM free games are the future for people that want to own their games.
you clicked the end user agreement box now Ubisoft owns you
That's not how contacts work, you can't sign away everything.
pretty much can. can sign away your life joining the military
I own every game i play. I either have a physical copy or piracy if anyone decides my digital copy isn't good enough to consider mine.
I stand with the Moldlord.
