I definitely respect EUs pro-consumer efforts in this arena but I always feel like they are nearing a point where distributors just say "ok, no more Europe". Or maliciously comply with a service that punishes consumers in a multitude of legal ways.

Of course that would be bad for business. Of course that would cost them millions of dollars. Of course the overinflated Muskian egos in charge of the tech industry would do it anyway.

If anything music services would be the first since they are the most hyper-sensitive.

Neat, what about distributors?

The EU with the clutch

EU just continues paving the way for sensible tech legislation. First type C, then the world.

There was some speculation that GameStop was going to develop a digital used games store utilizing nfts. #ToTheMoon

Back in the day when you had physical copies of your games, you could:

A. Sell your game to a private third party. Sell your game at a game store.

B. Have multiple people in the same household play different games from the same library.. Wait for it... Simultaneously!

How we lost these abilities with steam and no one complains is beyond me.

Cannot resell ebooks but can resell games? Interesting...

They really also need to make sure these games can't be stolen away from customers at a company's whim.

As long as buying digital goods is not owning them.

Sailing the high seas is no piracy.

How can I sell my steam games now?

Is it wrong of me to ask for as many upvotes as possible?

All I want to do is post on this page 🤣

[–] PurityKane@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just comment normal things. Not hard to get upvoted. Begging is certainly not the way though.
