  I’m not completely against licensing, especially software. I’m against companies licensing buyers away from being able to use what they bought.

  So if a license states “You own this as long as you don’t make and distribute copies to other users. Also some lingo allowing for reasonable backup copies.” 100% good in my opinion.

  But a license that states “You paid for it but we can take it away for no good reason, such as a few months of inactivity.” BS IMO.

  I haven’t bought a triple A game brand new since like 2014 or something. I wait until they have some sort of sale on them first. Literally didn’t buy Cyberpunk 2077 until very recently when they finally knocked it down to $30 a few weeks ago. It actually shocked me to walk by the games isle recently and see that triple A titles including yearly sports games are like $80 now. Crazy IMO. I might go back to reading books.

  Yep. We need a law that says “a person owns any item or service they buy for a one time fee. No ‘licensing’ them out of ownership” or legalese for the same thing. Only loophole should be if it’s outright advertised as a subscription service.

  Then another law that guarantees access to schematics and repair parts for reasonable fees. No loopholes. Schematics or die, that’s how I roll.

  Another already commented.

  But the general rule of thumb I use is that if it could literally get someone seriously injured or killed, I downvote.

  According to your comment history you’re okay with it as long as it’s those “libtards” being maimed or killed.

  Tbh, my upvote policy didn’t really change when I moved to Lemmy.

  Something has to be dangerously bad for me to downvote it.

  I upvote anything that seems interesting or agreeable to me.
