Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own

  Every time a company tries to restrict the number of downloads/reinstalls for a game that you buy a license for, it has backlashed so catastrophically that they’ve walked it back.

  So it has happened, yes, but there is no situation currently with game distributors where you pay a license for a single download. They’re all pay once, download in perpetuity.

    Don’t get me wrong here, I understand the pushback from the community in this regard and i’m not try to defend proprietary software.

    I’m more or less letting the original commenter know that they really don’t own the game or game files they purchase from common store-fronts, they simply own a license to download and play the game.

        Let’s break it down.

        People don’t like being proven wrong, and often try to dismiss it with some variation of “Im not gonna sit here and be told the whatfer by some random idiot”

        Sounds like you’re describing yourself here.

        • Refused to accept documentation from a valid source.

        • Instead of having a discussion, you proceed with a pointless “Ok, buddy” as a response.

        So when it came to registering on Lemmy, that popped up in my head and bobs your uncle.

        Real nice honeypot too, every time someones wrong and backs themselves into a corner instead of admitting they are wrong, they inevitably give some variation of “living up to your user name, huh”, which just continues to prove that the actual idiot is the one lashing out like that.

        You chose to make the two pointless comments above, I simply humoured your ignorance and lack of understanding of the subject, now isn’t that just bitter sweet, eh?
