    So then pirating the game isn’t stealing the game. It’s not following the license agreement that I didn’t sign or agree to in the first place. That’s good to know

    makes sense to me, this is just how books worked for hundreds of years. You write one and then nothing else ever happens to it ever again.

    It’s like the Coca-Cola company’s defense of Vitamin Watertm

    “No reasonable consumer would think Vitamin Watertm is a healthy drink”

      A single 20-ounce bottle contained around 31 to 33 grams of sugar—roughly eight teaspoons of sugar, which was nearly equal to a standard can of Coca-Cola

      wth in bottled water? The Dusani scandal is my favourite, where it was just from a tap in east London, still probably had some minerals and definitely healthier than Vitamin Water

        It’s not actually water at all. It’s a Gatorade type thing. Highly flavored, tons of detectable sugar, brightly colored.

        some vitaminwater varieties use a touch of sugar to bring out their signature flavors.

        And yes 22g sugar in a 16 oz bottle.

        Yeah but they called them like “mood boost” and “recovery” and shit too it was awesome. How could you think the product called “Vitamin Water” with the flavour “recovery” and think it’s healthy

    Games back then:

    “Xbox vs PS vs Nintendo vs PC. Come on guys, choose your camp, you don’t wanna be left out of the coolest camp now would you?”

    Games now:

    “Yeah, I’ve seen the clubs, no thx.”

    they could fix this by turning anything that says “buy” to “lease” and then it at least wouldnt be a lie. But lying makes more money.

    I do remember a pretty significant pushback against shit like online activation. And before that it really felt like you owned a copy of the game that you could borrow somebody or resell or borrow some games from the library.

      The first game I played that changed that was spore which came with a limited number of installations. Which I’m still bitter about to this day.
