UleTheVee Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 So yeah, those console peasants have lost an argument and people who are paranoid about Digital Goods now can feel a bit calm. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/953835-truth-you-own-the-software-that-you-purchase-and-any-claims-otherwise-are-urban-myth-or-corporate-propaganda/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyxx is kinda right. In the PC gaming world. We refer to the people who give dumb excuses as to why "PC Gaming sucks compared to Console Gaming" as Console Peasants. Console gamers are fine in our books so long as they don't berate us for preffering PC over consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Ah. I never knew there was any kind of a meme. I get it now though. So does "PC peasant" exist as well then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I like the term PC nazi. On topic, I am definitely not against companies ceasing support for games, AS LONG AS they allow us to continue playing the games we paid for.

I don't mind the word nazi. Bu7t see, there's a difference between someone saying the word nazi and someone implying or downright CALLING ME a Nazi.

[/sarcasm] A lot of console peasants and Physical purists often said that you didn't own anything in your steam library. That you were supposedly "Renting it" Alyxx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason why people were so upset is the whole "You own a partial license and you can't resell the game you own" or something of the sort.

Being able to resell a game is not a measure of owning it though. That's just a measure of owning it physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
