Why must I agree to be terms and conditions to play a game I bought 10 years ago? I just wanted to play some Civ. 2k games are the prime example of what is wrong with the world of gaming.
Where did you get the game from? Most platforms like steam don’t actually sell games. You pay to rent the game for life, which is different. Those platforms can change the terms of service for your rental whenever they like. If you prefer to own your games you need to visit actual shops, like GOG.
Why is this getting down voted lol
Truth hurts, I guess
Control freaks laying out blank canvases for themselves and taking away your consumer rights one cut at a time. As a legitimate owner of the Mafia games on PC, I can report having a significantly better experience with pirated copies since they don’t require their terrible launcher.
How pirated is that copy if you own a license?
How is it purchaser’s problem that entity selling licenses are unable or unwilling to deliver the the product beyond the license? Or if they do, it is on their terms lol
It’s pirated because it’s not through official channels and has the DRM removed, including the requirement for the 2K launcher.
As for the rest of your question, so long as I’ve understood that mess properly, it’s the buyer’s problem when companies start taking away the games we’ve paid for becauae they’re hiding behind a license despite never disclosing the purchase had an expiry date or conveniently left out what that date is as time of purchase.
Even really old games have T&Cs though, they’re usually just in the installers. They’ve existed for games since at least windows 95
I understand they have T&Cs, but to change them and stop me to keep paying a game that I’ve owned for almost a decade is ridiculous
Good point
I think if the TOS changes on a game you have paid for you should have the right to a refund if you don’t agree with the new one
the right to a refund if you don’t agree with the new one
If that was the rule, those things would never change haha
Could be a nice feature!
