Comment on How important is owning your own video games to you?

Not really important tbh. Ownership is only relevant in a society of scarcity. And games are infinitely copiable, thus the opposite of scarce.
I’m more in favor of collectivization, as in archives of games free to download, maintained by open projects and donations, stuff like that.

unless the servers where you can get your infinite copies from disappear or no longer host the game. And if the game requires an online connection to run, all those copies won’t do you any good, if those servers get shut down.
