Is it a blanket statement for every purchase regardless of what game it is?
If so, that's completely useless.

Those are like a real life Navi from Zelda.
"Hey! Link!" one every site is annoying.
That crap really needs to be a browser setting.

Not really. If you buy the game on gog, you own it.

Oor you dont pay attention to tech news.

Theres a reason california passed that law, its not clear enough that you dont own the games

Every game I bought before the wording change should be under my ownership imo. Retroactive shit is bullshit.

You used to able to buy a game in a box and it came with a code. Games got too large and instead of the next thing after Blu-Ray, they went full digital. Maybe we can get legislation for PC game have to have a physical option and have discs for installing and when you use the code you can undo the code and be able to resell it. Thoughts?
