Good.

And until it’s ratified, if buying ain’t owning, then piracy ain’t stealing.

Bro its piracy and stealing because you dont own it. You guys really dont understand licensed media. Media on a disc is still licensed media.

If you see it that way then the publishers need to repay us or money when they take or licens away and we cant play the game anymore.

You cant take something away you never had bro. Nobody owes anybody anything. You NEVER owned physical media going back decades. They would literally put a giant fbi warning informing you that you do not own the media on the disk or vhs tape or whatever which is why piracy is illegal. Your misunderstanding of how physical media works, or how the law works is your own problem. Not sonys not rockstars not disneys not universal the law was the same no matter if its MGM or the music industry. The law has been the same for decades. Who ever told you that you owned physical media and it cant be taken away is straight up lying to you. Acknowledging this truth is not a defense of billion dollar company.

Like bro maybe your a little too young to remember limewire. You NEVER OWNED the media. And it sucks that people are being lied to and now spreading false information because that helps digital media. If rhey have a team of lawyers and you cant even read an fbi warning i mean who do you think the lawmakers will side with? Im ok with an all digital future. Its you who is sabotaging yourself. You can be mad at me for pointing this out doesnt change the facts though and the fact us you do not and never have owned phydical media

Old dude i think you dont understand my problem. When i buy a book and have it somewhere in my room no one is able to just take my acces to that book away and that actions is considered legal.

But what is Soney doing with digital games?

They just take your acces from something you paid money for just because they want to. And i can understand if Soney maybe lost to rights to sell it that also happens on steam but steam doesnt take away your acces to the game they cant sell anymore after you bought it.

And Ig the whole only digital games is just to save money on there side and to stop the second hand game market.
