Then stop calling the button purchase and call it rent.

This is why the stop killing games movement exists

Simple solution: Piracy. If they won't sell it to you, then steal it.

Arr me hearties.

if buying isn't owning the piracy isn't stealing.

It says "limited" but does not define what limited is, so you legally paid for nothing guaranteed. You just give them money but they are obligated to give you nothing.

The only solace is at least the majority of AAA games coming out now are so ass that i don't want them anyway.

AS A CONSUMER YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, LIMITED OR CHANGED. THOSE RIGHTS TAKE PRIORITY OVER ANYTHING IN THESE TERMS.

So they're saying we should write to our law making representatives and have that changed?

Sounds like a fucking great idea to me.

Steam users: First time?

Don't buy PlayStation, got it.

If buying isn't owning, piracy isn;t theft.

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

If you pirate the games, you actually own them and they can't take them away from you. Funny how that works.

obtaining games through unauthorised means

If games are going to have DRM, collect our data through unauthorized means, and be randomly taken away without our authorization, then exactly what social contract are we upholding?

Should change the "buy" button to "rent"

Pretty much all software EULA's are like this. Anything you "buy a license for" certainly. Same as it ever was.
