- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 day ago:
It’s false equivalency. Do you own a chair design or just a physical chair? Do you own a physical painting you bought (protected by the same laws as physical games)?

There are limitations of what you can do with your copy that you own, but the laws that apply to them are different than those of digital games. By design all the protections phycial goods had were removed for digital goods by the same companies. That’s why ownership is dead.
By law I can trade or sell my copy of a physical game to anyone I want. Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 day ago:
You specifically said “online servers for authentication”.
And then continued in the next sentence. In context it makes sense, without it I can understand your confusion.
And I’m not trying to attack GOG, just highlighting the reaility of online “onwership” in general. GOG and Itch.io are the best we can get without real regulations.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 day ago:
Not true. With older phisical games which fit on the CDs/DVDs you by law owned your copy and had full ownership over it to do whatever you wanted.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 1 day ago:
You are talking about always-on DRM, I was talking about dependence on the servers for connecting to the multiplayer. Most of GOG games lose partial funtionality when servers get shut down as GOG doesn’t use/host their own servers.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 2 days ago:
Sure you get a DRM-free license on GOG, but for many games you are still dependent on online servers for authentication, which can be shut down at any time rendering your access null and void. The only recourse is technically “hacking” a game a creating local servers which is both against terms of service and against the law in some countries.

This sounds cool in theory, but it requires updating all the courses to match the pace of hand writing. All the courses these days are tailored ot break neck pace of computer typing, so much so that you are even forced to use shorhand in some cases to be able to keep up.
