Memes

The original context of this quote. Which has suspiciously been removed, is in reference to subscription models taking off.

The original quote is more along the line of "a subscription model isn't feasible unless gamers get used to the idea of not owning their games"

So really any line of logic is flawed because it misrepresents the original comment.

If you purchase it and they can still take it away from you at will, it isn’t something that can be owned. If it isn’t something that can be owned, piracy isn’t stealing because for it to be stealing somebody would have to own it.

The suggestion of not owning games refers to having subscription-based access to them; as of yet only ever offered as a suggested alternative to purchasing games, which is still very much an option.

That is exactly the problem though. How long will it be until the subscription model is no longer an option but the only option? Because i would bet money on that being the actual goal.

I can live with that, I mean, subscription for games, but once a game enters the catalog, it can never be removed.

He's basically threatening to move to a subscription-instead-of-purchase model. They've toyed with this idea for years, and have been trying to normalize it.

These memes are always using terribly structured logic to justify piracy.

Agreed. Nobody needs to justify piracy. Piracy is automatically justified because the reasons people justified banning piracy were bad-faith. Digital IP is theft whose only purpose has failed.
