Comment on Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff
Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 days agoDon’t bother reading the EULA for all commercial software then. You don’t actually own anything you purchase.
Unless you have the code there is no freedom and it is all an illusion.

Yeah, that’s the point I and the person above were stating.

I was pretty sure Steam was getting dunked on because you don’t actually own the games according to the contract. I was just pointing out this is also true of any commercial piece of software.
For example, you go to GameStop and buy a physical copy of your favorite game. When you install it he EULA makes it clear you don’t actually own the product, just a license.

True but if I own the .exe or physical disk, it’s going to be a lot harder to stop me playing the game than if I’m accessing it through a platform.

That is a good point.
