    Even commie-fornia is powerless against capital. Why not legislate laws against shit like that in the first place?

    ‘this company will openly swindle you and we’re gonna force them to tell u about it’

    If I can’t own ‘em, I ain’t buyin’ ‘em. Their loss.

    GOOD! Sick of this “you don’t own it” crap. That’s why we need physical media

    And once the licence is taken away. Money should be given back. Fair is fair.

    Okay, that’s nice and all but doesn’t solve the underlying issue of games people paid for being left in a permanantly unplayable state, a real “sticking plaster on a tumour” move.

    I am perfectly comfortable not owning any Ubisoft games anyway, so what’s the point?

    Doesn’t really mean anything for any modern game since the physical copy doesn’t contain the game anymore.
