@ligniform At this point torrenting or pirating doesn't feel like stealing...Since ownership has become so murky over the years due to corporations attempting to get gamers used to not owning a physical copy.
"In a recent interview, Ubisoft’s subscriptions director Phillipe Tremblay said gamers need to accept not actually owning their games. Tremblay compared this to how people got used to not owning physical CD and DVD collections anymore. He said a similar change in attitude “needs to happen” with gamers as well." Sounds to me like a call to arms more than a convincing argument against game ownership. I might have to get an Xbox Series X and buy physical games again.
I really don't want to enrich a gross company which would argue for people to sink money into subscriptions instead of games! As then games would exist in an ephemeral state which could be removed at any time from the service...It's truly horrifying.
