@peter @gamesbymanuel Say I acquire a game with DRM from a platform. Is it stealing if I use a workaround to deactivate it even if the law says so and I have paid for it? Would it be if I got that game on my own physical media instead of leaving it "in the cloud" to download it whenever I want, until I couldn't because of "reasons"?

@peter @Illuminatus So you're agreeing that when you buy a digital game nowadays, you don't own it. That's the issue here. @gamesbymanuel @Illuminatus yes, I agree with that. But it doesn't make it not stealing to circumvent that. |
@Illuminatus @gamesbymanuel generally when you buy a game these days you're purchasing a license to access the content under specific circumstances. So it's as much stealing as it is to buy a ticket to a film then record it to watch again later rather than paying to view it again. Again I'm not saying that's how things SHOULD work
