Seems like a win for society if a significant percentage of the people making graffiti not worth looking at would switch to digital instead of physical graffiti then.

Between NAT, CGNAT and the same instance checking in more than once that is not a very reliable way to count anything.
Only if the part phoning home does send some sort of unique id.
How would they even know?
Long-term tech debt is also really just part of the problem, the same thing occurs in shorter time intervals too when you e.g. push fixing a bug from the time before release to the time after or even just from the time when one developer is working on that particular feature to after the time when it is merged into the shared code base.
But my point is that you are not going to get that court order so they suggest a scenario that is totally unrealistic. No court is going to order a game store to transfer an account.
The point is that we should be trying to change the laws that enable this, not simp for companies trying to pretend they can circumvent it legally when all they do is enable what the publisher will see as piracy.
Except that only applies to the physical bytes on your disk. If the publisher can legally revoke your license to use that installer they can do so whether you are able to violate that law or not.
You are physically able to duplicate it, legally it is quite different though.
No, it is legal speech for “we think you want that and we think you are dumb enough to believe we can actually deliver that so lets give it a try to pretend we are doing that”.
You must be quite young or sheltered if you haven’t had a few gamers you knew die already. Not everyone dies of old age.
“Can’t stop, smell” seems like a good description of the horrible stench anywhere near perfume shops.
I really don’t understand the people who think this makes a difference. It is not Steam or GOG that decides how to sell you the game, it is the copyright owner enabled to do so by the lawmakers in the relevant jurisdiction(s).
Even with the physical disk or movie on DVD you only own a license.
It is exactly the same there.
It is not as if people keep rewatching the same old movies twenty times a week. The problem with gaming is that some players seem incapable of even considering trying something new that isn’t part of the same series.
Why does gaming even need publishers? Unlike books or movies the number of sales outlets seems rather small, usually in the single digits.
Well, technically most of the way you don’t have to do much on that journey, most of the effort is to get into Earth orbit.
I guess they also set their goal for wear on the ropes very high.
Well, you could argue the opportunity to ban all his channels and the opportunity to ban him for more than 14 days were both lost here.
