Don’t get me wrong here, I understand the pushback from the community in this regard and i’m not try to defend proprietary software licensing.

I’m more of letting the original commenter know that they actually don’t own the game or game files they purchase from common store-fronts, they simply own a license to download and play the game.

People don’t like being proven wrong, and often try to dismiss it with some variation of “Im not gonna sit here and be told the whatfer by some random idiot”

Sounds like you’re describing yourself here.

• Refused to accept documentation from a valid source.

• Instead of having a discussion, you proceed with a pointless “Sure, buddy” at an attempt to deflect from the topic.

So when it came to registering on Lemmy, that popped up in my head and bobs your uncle.

Real nice honeypot too, every time someones wrong and backs themselves into a corner instead of admitting they are wrong, they inevitably give some variation of “living up to your user name, huh”, which just continues to prove that the actual idiot is the one lashing out like that.

You chose to make the two comments above, I simply humoured your ignorance and lack of understanding of the subject.

Username checks out.

Suggest reading into software licensing and understand the different types of licenses that could be used.

Make us individual game owners pay license every time we download and install the game?

This is how it’s been done for decades now? Every game you purchase off of Steam, Xbox, PlayStation is just a license to play that game.

If I remember correctly, Walmart does have televisions up in the tech department displaying advertisements and trailers for movies and games.

Ffs be a parent and this never would have happened. Sounds like father is the delusional one.

His son was 36, his responsibility to babysit every little thing his child did ended at 19. The Father is not to blame for what his adult son had done.
