Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective.

Please don’t mistake this explanation as an excuse.
Threadiverse does this often.
It even uses the “worth reading” system as an incorrect way of saying “I dis/agree.” Can’t wait for pylova to become the norm.
trades that game in and the store resells it for $40, they get all of that, and the publisher gets nothing.
In some countries, resale laws exist to deter this. So this argument is kinda naught.

I’m new to Lemmy, so I literally don’t understand your first point, but-
I don’t see how. The only resale laws that I can find in the US, UK, Eu or even Japan refer to prohibiting Digital Resales. Even in Japan, publishers haven’t been able to prohibit the reselling of physical games.
So no, the point stands; Publishers want to get rid of physical media in order to push people onto digital licenses, which are more restrictive and non-transferable.

🫳Nebulous.
Upvotes & Downvotes in weighted aggregation mean “This is worth reading or not.” Many people still abuse this to mean “I [dis]like your comment/post.” Pylova forks already have reactions to express the latter, and maintain the former. “You can upvote and like a comment too now!”

I have no idea where you’re getting your info, or if you’re somehow misunderstanding me, but literally everything you just said is wrong.
It is 100% legal to resell any physical media you own in all of those territories. If I buy a game on a disc, I can then do whatever the hell I like with that disc, including sell it back to the place that sold it to me, who can then sell it to somebody else.
This isn’t a matter of opinion we can debate, it’s clearly settled law. If you disagree, you’re wrong. Edn of discussion.
As for the whole upvote/downvote thing, I think I understand what you mean now, but in doing so I care even less as I was simply adding a point of clarification which you’re focusing way too much on in order to debate the virtues of differing platforms, which is both boring and tiring.
You’re a very frustrating entity to deal with.
Goodbye.

Ignorantia juris non excusat.
Get a lawyer here before you make yourself more ignorant than you’re.
Welcome to the real worldwide chump. You either let governments oppress your freedoms, or liberate press. Either way, your raw arguments are naught. If you’re not rolling authoritarian heads <img src=“cdn3.emoji.gg/emojis/6618-guillotine.png” alt=“guillotine” width=“32” height=“auto”> , you’re really wasting everyone’s time.
