Lights stopped traffic flowing in one direction, at which point the ravens swooped down from the lightpost and hopped down the line of cars peering in the driver's side window, asking for snacks. If time allowed, they would then proceed up the passenger side. An inventive scheme! This is one of the two. #california #nature

#Steam's new #disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your #games, #GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

So if the absence of #ownership on Steam isn't new, why the new message? My assumption is that it arises from recent pushback against game publishers ending support for online games, rendering them inoperable, and in some cases revoking the #licenses to those games outright. That too is nothing particularly new, but #Ubisoft broke the camel's back earlier this year when it ended services for The Crew and stripped the license from people who had purchased it. That sparked a "Stop Killing Games" consumer campaign and, more pointedly, a new #California #law that requires retailers to warn consumers that the digital games they buy can be taken away at any time—as this message does.

....because what the "projection" has ALWAYS been about is creating a license for him to do the same because "THEY get away with it". The false accusations serve the purpose of self-licensing.

California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it

"California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law (AB 2426) to combat “disappearing” purchases of digital games, movies, music, and ebooks. The legislation will force digital storefronts to tell customers they’re just getting a license to use the digital media, rather than suggesting they actually own it."
