I would use the term "licensing" rather than leasing. A video rental store "leases" the license.

But the point is, they're selling you a license to play the game, and then at some point after sale, without you knowing when or why, they rescind the license without compensating you. Any reasonable person would think that purchasing a game means a license to play it indefinitely, especially if you received some kind of binary in exchange for money at the point of sale.

It's the difference between Uber offering a subscription model, but then a year later suddenly saying they don't offer it anymore, vs Tesla selling you a car, but a year later disabling features on it, saying, "you were merely licensing/leasing those features".

This should be a legal requirement, imo. It's unreasonable for them to sell a game to people, and then make it impossible to play because they weren't making enough anymore. That's like making a movie unwatchable because dvd sales dropped

The difference between us is, I want Nazis to renounce their Nazi-ism. You don't.

I don't believe you'll always be this way. I believe you can change. Godspeed.

It sure doesn't. I had a bunch of beautiful screenshots I took using The Invincible's photo mode. It saved them all to the emulated AppData folder in compatdata. When I was done with the game I uninstalled and went to grab the pics, only to learn I picked the wrong order to do that in :(. This was as of 2 months ago.

Do they know being frustrated by mice makes them boomers?

gtfo with your nazi apologism

That was so fast, you make me rub my temples in pain, my guy.

So, people are people, they aren't their ideals. People have more than one state of mind, they aren't 2D cardboard cutouts (or drawings of red skull). Life would be easier if they were, I agree, but the world is more complex than that.

People are born into environments they have no control over. People are handed ideals before they know what they are. People learn from their environment. People change their minds about things. You literally wouldn't bother commenting right now if you didn't agree with me.

If a person is sitting peacefully, let them. If a person is taking any action to impede any other person's ability to sit peacefully, then stop them. But don't attack a person who is sitting peacefully, because they'll probably want to attack you, or someone else, back.

Now call me a nazi again, and we can agree to disagree. Jfc.

So, basically, if you tolerate the intolerant, the intolerant will eventually wipe out tolerance.

A more accurate way to say it is, "if you tolerate the intolerant BEING intolerant, intolerance will eventually wipe out tolerance."

It does not say you should be intolerant of the intolerant while they're minding their own business. I just think a bar owner is free to kick people out for representing Nazis purely because it's their bar and they can do what they want.

But X's problem is a bit different from the Nazi Bar problem, in that you don't really see the Neo Nazis on X sitting there minding their own business. You ONLY see them voicing their intolerance. Which of course, should not be tolerated.

Tolerate tolerate tolerate. There.

Yeah that would have been a huge letdown if I had been aware of all that hype.

But man, if only the huge letdowns of today were as good as spore...

Hah, I remember the space end game seeming like an endless slog of fighting the intergalactic evil race that occupied all the systems surrounding the center of the galaxy. Rather than spend forever slowly taking each and every system over, I just made a mad dash for the center to see what was there. I think the strategy was to take my ship into a system as I'm being chased by enemies, down to a planet, lay down a respawn point without dying, then leave the system and race closer to the center, and repeat. I eventually made it there with this strategy. I won't spoil what's at the center in case you don't want it spoiled but...I found it underwhelming lol.

Also wondering this. It looked really cool in concept, was bummed when it didn't work out.
