- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

They need to start calling it "long term game rental"
Correct but gross. Leasing.
Yeah, it should be listed as purchasing anymore, since you dont own it
You are buying a temporary revokable license to play the game.
Yeah, that's what they are manufacturing your consent for
Or -- hear me out -- the distributors should be criminally prosecuted for fraud and theft for having represented it as a sale and then reneging on it/stealing it back from the buyers.
It should be a sale and should remain a sale. But the terms need to be enforced.
Yes that is my favorite way of handling it
My more favorite way would be making regulation around garbage drm like Denuvo. Scumbag Studios shouldn't get to install trash spyware just to punish legit buyers.
they saw what Blockbuster's was doing with their physical games and then said "hold my beer"
I want game rentals back... It was great, basically a euro per day. So many games I tried just because our was cheap enough to try risk free.
Blockbuster was honest about what they were doing and provided a valuable service.
