grue, (edited ) do gaming w Imagine, if you can.

Or it’s saying “you’re a loser living with your parents playing video games at 45.”

The ambiguity is part of the subversion.

Edit: I’m enumerating how it could be interpreted, not saying I have a problem with it!

grue, do gaming w Every jrpg

Whaddya mean, "J"RPG? That’s literally Morrowind you’re describing!

grue, do gaming w You can't take it with you, but you can't leave it for someone else either: Valve says you aren't allowed to bequeath a Steam account in a will

(of the license to use the software, I know we don’t own “the game”).

No, you don’t own the copyright, but you do own your individual copy. Don’t fall for the “licensed, not sold” self-serving propaganda.

grue, do gaming w And now you get the bad ending

In the biz, they call that “replayability.”

grue, do gaming w I'll be sad when they're 100% gone one day

Is this about digital downloads vs. physical media for video games, like most seem to be assuming, or is it about video games vs. board games?

grue, do scifi w Wil Wheaton Blames One Scene For Everyone Hating Wesley Crusher

Villains don’t count; they’re supposed to be hated.

grue, do games w I just want to play my game...

I would, and did!

grue, do gaming w Yes, also a full-priced game. Why do you ask?
grue, do gaming w Nintendo forces Garry's Mod to delete 20 years of content — Garry confirms Nintendo is behind Steam Workshop purge | Tom's Hardware

Let’s not pretend that the law somehow requires Nintendo to threaten and bully Garry’s Mod, because that just isn’t the case.

grue, do games w The Sega Saturn

LTT just did a “console tier list” video with a bit on what went wrong with the Saturn.

I think one of the biggest problems was how Sega decided to split their market between the Saturn and the 32X. They should’ve focused their efforts on making one good console & games catalog instead of two mediocre ones.

You own the copy

…which is the entirety of the important part. Once the store sells you the copy, that’s it: the copryight holder has no more right whatsoever to say what gets done to that copy. In particular, it does not have the right to dictate to you when, where, or how you may use your property, e.g. by requiring an Internet connection for the fucking thing to run!

The copyright holder’s temporary monopoly privilege should not be allowed to supersede or infringe upon the copy owner’s actual property rights in even the slightest way. Full stop, end of. The publisher’s business model is its own damn problem, not the customer’s. If it relies on destroying the latter’s rights in order to achieve profitability, the business deserves to fail!

We need to show up at the FTC chair’s house with torches and pitchforks until he agrees to start enforcing the Doctrine of First Sale again.

grue, do games w I just want to play my game...

No, it’s not the same; not even slightly! Youtube Music is a monthly subscription, whereas Ubisoft presents the transaction as a sale. Ubisoft has no right to gatekeep your property away from you.

grue, do games w I just want to play my game...

Always has been a blatant motherfucking lie, you mean.

Saying you don’t own a game you bought is exactly as batshit insane as saying you don’t own a paper book you bought. We wouldn’t put up with this shit for that, so we shouldn’t put up with it for games either!

Stop letting the copyright cartel steal our property rights and drive us into serfdom.

grue, do games w How Greed Ruined Gaming

We failed to hold the line at the goddamn horse armor.
