resist. Ubisoft's director of subscriptions says that gamers need to start "feeling comfortable" with not owning the games they're playing. #cybersecgirl #gamestr #ubisoft #gaming https://www.thegamer.com/ubisoft-plus-subscription-exec-gamers-need-to-get-comfortable-with-not-owning-your-games/

Maybe unpopular opinion, but when you buy a book you don’t own the content, only the paper it is printed on. 🐶🐾🫡
i may not own the rights to republish or sell the content, but i own my copy. i don't license my books, i own my copy and i can lend it out or give it to another to read. the internet archive exists to preserve human knowledge and culture from coprorate greed. a publisher can and do revoke access to media. if it only exists in a digitally licensed state, it is at risk of censorship.
💯 but you merely own the right to enjoy the content 🐶🐾🫡
yes, and with physical media even if the publisher decides to pull or discontinues the book. i can still enjoy my copy and share it with others
True. But I assume it works for some things but not the others. With software you need to maintain and patch and invest. Less so with books. One reason Kindle books are cheaper is because you purchase a lesser right. I am not happy about it, but I also do not want to deprive business of their freedom to do so. We as consumers have a choice and we can literally vote with our wallets 🐶🐾🫡🫂
Choose your media wisely 🐶🐾🫡🫂
