It’s sad how consumers have zero rights when it comes to digital content. Companies can retroactively make changes, removing content legitimately bought by consumers with no repercussions. I get “not owning” but for a company to collect money for services provided and not actually provide those services will never not astound me.
If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing.
Yarr, matey.
idk how madden players can put so much time and money into ultimate team only for the service to end after 2 years. and they do it every single year
Same way FIFA players do and have been doing, to the tune of over 1 billion dollars since 2018.
Jfc.....
Right? Call it what you will, changing terms of sale or use after taking someone's money is wrong.
Yeah I can’t even comprehend how that just passes as totally normal these days. Make it all make sense…
This is basically why I don't buy anything that I don't think I can protect from being fucked with.
That's all ownership is really.
Because the FTC is toothless when it comes to EULAs. You can sign your rights away by agreeing to it (which is required to play the game).
