@mk @Titanbreakerkun You don't get what you purchase. You're giving them money, for essentially nothing.
Me: hold my beer, opens my GOG game library.
1126 purchased games, I have played less than 1% of them
List does not include hidden games.
@37712 @mk @Titanbreakerkun Yet, you actually own those, and hence not scammed. So, that weight of that poor decision lies on you for not partaking of said "collection."
I've determined I will only ever buy games for which I can have a physical copy, or GOG with the files backed up to a drive.
Humble Bundle used to have bundles that included $60 games in packs of a dozen games for a dollar, back when they were an upstart. My Steam library is worth about $12k, despite actually paying close to nothing for those games. So, that was my exception to not physically owning the games.

Reasonable stance. The problem is the bait and switch - most people assume they still buy the game and own it, when in fact they purchase a license to play it, which can be revoked at any point (Ubisoft removed games from their platform e.g.).
Without that expectation of ownership, it's perfectly fine to spend money on a temporary joy. Gaming is still incredibly affordable as far as hobbies go.
@Volkish_Observer @37712 @DigitalYankee @mk @Titanbreakerkun Except they don't bill themselves as renting or selling a license, they bill the game to you and imply implicit ownership, where there is none. It's a scam. Theft, in other words.
Actual facts. And I'd do it again, and I'll probably do it again.

@doonxib @mk @Titanbreakerkun
I wish I could play games more often but life, wifu, work, personal goals stop me from playing as much as I used to
@Titanbreakerkun I laugh, then I remember my 500+ DVDs and Blurays, unwatched and forsaken.
