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

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.

they actually don’t own the game

This is a fact that has been made apparent repeatedly. We know.

However, you were replying to this:

Make us individual game owners pay license every time we download and install the game?

With this:

This is how it’s been done for decades now?

…which is patently false.
