That’s why you should buy physical disks. In the worst case you can re-sell them to someone else.

Or buy games without DRM. Like on GOG.
Also wait until development of the game is really done. That way the game is better and cheaper and works on cheaper hardware.
GOG doesn’t work on consoles.
Jussayin not everyone wants to maintian a PC so they can game…

My gaming PC takes the same amount of maintenance as my PS5. Both are computers with parts that can break. Other than that, install updates when they pop up.
Also, Steam Deck / Machine (or any PC with SteamOS) essentially can handle like consoles and run GOG games.

If you want to own your games why don’t you want to own the device you use to play them?
Replying to @HerbGrower@slrpnk.net
That is a bullshit arguement. “You dont own the hardware so you dont deserve to own the games” - I do own the hardware… I can’t update/upgrade it the same way I do my PC, but I still own it.

If you read my message carefully you would see that I didn’t say what you quoted.
Replying to @HerbGrower@slrpnk.net
No, you didn’t, it was implied though … And I didn’t quote you, it was paraphrasing your argument
Replying to @jsnfwlr@lemmy.ml
Hey guys, you all seem to want to have ownership of your software. Come over here where we have ownership of hardware too!
This is bullshit! You are saying we don’t deserve ownership!
