I'm sure things were evolving on him.

At least now you can say he has culture.

Any examples? Would be good to track

I didn't attempt to derail anything, nor did I make any kind of "ridiculous semantics argument".

That you don't understand it continues not to surprise me.

Yeah, it was about what constitutes a refund, which I built upon...

We seriously need to have a long conversation

This you?

I just honestly have no fucking idea what your point is and it’s tiresome.

Skill issue.

Lol you say you want a discussion and then act like a dickhead when someone engages in that discussion.

Nice work.

You did, and that licence comes with plenty of terms that can restrict or revoke your access to that game.

Which shouldn't be allowed, but it is.

In an ideal world, you wouldn't have to purchase a license to the game at all. You could purchase the game itself by receiving a packaged copy of it along with a copy of the source code.

But something inbetween would be a nice start.

That was my point -- I was building off of what you said...

I paid for a license for a game. Thus I paid for a game.

This is exactly the problem. This should be true, but it isn't in most cases.

Store's like GOG get much closer by giving you a DRM free copy. But some would say that even then, if you aren't allowed to modify and distribute that, you don't really own the game either.

Hmm, your original response pre-edit was a lot nicer.

I didn’t say I purchased a game, I said I paid for a game.

I also didn't use the word purchase. You said "paid for a game", I quoted you as saying you "paid for a game".

Why are you pretending I misquoted you?

Somebody needs a hug.

The thing is, you never paid for a "game" in the first place. You paid for a license with a whole boatload of conditions.

The thing that needs to be fixed is not refunds, but what "buying" something digital means in the first place.

You will be surprised at how much you can do with very little and very old hardware.
