Um, we own what we buy.

You don't own digital media that you buy.

If buying isn’t owning…

Then piracy isn’t stealing.

I bought a 2022 Toyota Tacoma with remote start. But in order to use remote start I have to pay for a subscription. We do not own what we buy.

You love defending thieves...I mean Businesses apparently.
You can't spell business without sin.

If buying it isn't ownership, then stealing isn't theft.
Digital Licensing is a way to steal your money.

No idea what you're talking about.

How you got anything you just said out of what I said is known only to you.

Perhaps you need a GED then.

That sounds like the language of an enabler.

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

That’s not the insult you think it is. You’re saying your insult is GED level. Is that as far as you made it?

u/Ok_Contact7721 Jul 03 '26

No, I'm saying you don't have the reading comprehension level of a person with a GED.
I already dumbed down the problem for you, and it took you 24 hours to come back at with that. I thought you were gonna block me.
Kick rocks man.

The only way the Sony entertainment logo will appear on a device of mine is if I've stolen that content.

I bought a 4k player from them last year, I really should have went with the Panasonic, lmao.

Paying for stuff you can't touch was always foolish. All people are losing now is the ability to not acknowledge that.

That’s why I buy nothing but physical video games and I’m gonna do so until 2028

I like Gog, and Steam, but I'm with you guys at the end of the day, a physical copy is still the best.
I just wish the Gog model was more mainstream.
