       I wonder if in the future we will have legal action over game bans. I was banned on Overwatch 2 for "exploiting game mechanics" and just got a response for my ticket telling me they confirmed I cheated somehow.Permabanned, thanks for the $10 loser. Never giving Blizzard money ever again.

       @Zerglingman well of course but civil suits hardly give a shit. when they make their product useless after buying it and can't even give a real reason, what makes it different from like Hasbro stealing your Monopoly board back because you didn't play right.It's cringe and unfair to people who paid money for it.

       @nihil >Overwatch 2 has mandatory security requirements in order to be played. Starting October 4, 2022, all players across all platforms, including consoles, are required to have a phone number attached to their battle.net account to launch the game.Hahaha.Online-only games are not even games, they are SERVICES that can be revoked at any time. The same applies to any game that requires Steam or anything like that - even if it's single player.Gaming as an industry died when you stopped being able to pay for the data on physical media (CDs / DVDs).Imagine paying for a banana that you're sure you will eat in the evening, but you see that it has disappeared. It's insane but gamers accepted this.

       @digdeeper @digitalman you own all of those, but you don’t the place it’s kept. the bank owns your house until after 30 years once it’s completely paid off or your landlord like most of the world has.

       @digdeeper @nihil Same goes for streaming in general. Huge waste of money. Even worse than services like Steam, because at least Steam doesn't require a subscription. Though the money is still wasted anyway, since accessing the games depends entirely on Steam existing and allowing the games to be accessed. And also, you can't sell them. If you can't resell something that you paid for, it's not yours.
