Selling online games is a hoax, simply because once there is no much traffic, the servers are shut down and you can't play anymore. If you don't own the game physically and can't play whenever you want, it's irrational to buy it. Online games must be only by subscription.

That goes for music and videos too. If you don't have a physical copy you don't really own it.

yeah, i came to this conclusion when i found myself almost buying TC: Breakpoint which was on sale, but regular price is $120. i saw that you get everything as part of a $15/mo subscription to ubisoft+ and you get woke dogs and you get butt creed, and you get division. all of those games, even if you bought them full price, wouldnt be "owned" by you anyway. why not just subscribe to the one service and cancel when you're done with them

That's what I'm doing with the Xbox Game Pass thing right now. I paid $1 for 90 days, which then becomes $15/mo afterward.

I've played about a dozen games so far that would have cost me hundreds to purchase from GameStop even at used prices.

Then you should stop buying Steam games because once steam is gone so will the games. Developers claim their game will work offline but forget that it requires steam client to work. If anything were to happen to steam client you will see over 1 million gamers unable to play all their games. That is why buying games from GOG or stores that give the full files of the game are always the better ways to play and keep games.

They say it in their TOS that you have a license which means they can take it away if you go against their TOS which they always change and add new shit to all the time.

That said, get an external drive and fill it with games they CANT take away.

I bought that Armagedon game from the dude that makes those shitty comics.

Funny dude, funny comics...but the game is dead.

Only get multiplayer games if they come with a dedicated server.

Everything digital that has digital rights management is never owned by the purchaser.
