    It’s sad how consumers have zero rights when it comes to digital content. Companies can retroactively make changes, removing content legitimately bought by consumers with no repercussions. I get “not owning” but for a company to collect money for services provided and not actually provide those services will never not astound me.

      If buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.

      Right? Call it what you will, changing terms of sale or use after taking someone’s money is wrong.

        Same way FIFA players do and have been doing, to the tune of over 1 billion dollars since 2018.

      This is basically why I don’t buy anything that I don’t think I can protect from being fucked with.

      That’s all ownership is really.

      Because the FTC is toothless when it comes to EULAs. You can sign your rights away by agreeing to it (which is required to play the game).
