Apparently, Rocket League and Fall Guys are being ported to Fortnite. Both games currently work on Linux, but in the future, they may require playing through Fortnite (lemmy.ml)

Hmm, your original response pre-edit was a lot nicer.

I didn’t say I purchased a game, I said I paid for a game.

I also didn't use the word purchase. You said "paid for a game", I quoted you as saying you "paid for a game".

Why are you pretending I misquoted you?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Because the difference seemed to be what your point was. If it wasn't, I have no idea what it was. I paid for a license for a game. Thus I paid for a game.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That was my point -- I was building off of what you said...

I paid for a license for a game. Thus I paid for a game.

This is exactly the problem. This should be true, but it isn't in most cases.

Store's like GOG get much closer by giving you a DRM free copy. But some would say that even then, if you aren't allowed to modify and distribute that, you don't really own the game either.

Okay so if I didn't pay for a license for a game, what did I pay for?

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You did, and that licence comes with plenty of terms that can restrict or revoke your access to that game.

Which shouldn't be allowed, but it is.

In an ideal world, you wouldn't have to purchase a license to the game at all. You could purchase the game itself by receiving a packaged copy of it along with a copy of the source code.

But something inbetween would be a nice start.

Great, I'm glad we sorted that out. Thanks for the unnecessary clarification.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lol you say you want a discussion and then act like a dickhead when someone engages in that discussion.

Nice work.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I didn't say I wanted a discussion? Why are you misquoting me? I just honestly have no fucking idea what your point is and it's tiresome. Goodbye now.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We seriously need to have a long conversation

This you?

I just honestly have no fucking idea what your point is and it’s tiresome.

Skill issue.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How convenient that you omitted the part of the sentence that describes what the conversation is about. It wasn't this.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it was about what constitutes a refund, which I built upon...

[–] artyom@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You didn't build upon anything, you exclusively attempted to derail the conversation into some sort of ridiculous semantics argument that I still don't understand.

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol -1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I didn't attempt to derail anything, nor did I make any kind of "ridiculous semantics argument".

That you don't understand it continues not to surprise me.
