Comment on Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase

I’m pretty sure this is in response to a recent California bill that forces digital storefronts to disclose if it is a license you are getting. Otherwise the storefront is not allowed to use words like “buy” or “purchase”.

10/10 law can we please get this in Canada too?

Better yet, can we just get a law that makes it so when we buy something we own it?

I mean that’s what the California law is.
If you buy it you own it, but we aren’t buying the games.
A law that says they have to let us buy it instead of license it would be nice though.
