    Ah, you’re one of those people. Got it. No point in continuing this conversation.

    You go ahead and buy your physical copy, if one is even released, and others will buy digital as they like. Philosophical arguments of ownership on social media don’t make a difference.

      For the people following the chat If you can’t own it it’s not stealing.

      Btw I hate that physical ownership is seen as an exclusive place for consumer rights. Companies saw a gap in collective knowledge and law and drove the wedge as far as they could.

        The problem is with DRM owning a physical copy of a recent game doesn’t mean squat. It also wasn’t a gap for older generations since CDs were a terrible medium to store and verify games since they scratch easy.

        The fight will always be you want to own the thing you buy, and companies will want to stop people who didn’t buy it from using it. This fight has been going on since the original DOOM was freely passed around.
