    Any tldr? I hate watching a video of something that, probably, can be summarized in a single fucking paragraph.

    I’m also not always able to watch videos compared to just reading an article

      On June 10th any game purchases people made through Amazon’s Luna service will be removed, with no refunds. On June 3rd they’re ending the “bring your own library” feature where you could link to certain outside accounts (GOG, etc.) and get those to stream on Luna.

      There’s more about Buy button shenanigans and digital ownership, but that’s the part the headline refers to.

        Say what you will about Stadia, but at least Google gave everyone full refunds when that shut down.

      If you can’t be bothered to watch or find an article yourself, I can’t be bothered to summarise 🤷‍♂️

        Without the context or summary finding info is going to be a crap shoot and potentially a waste of time. Meanwhile the person posting the vid, who has the context, could simply provide some of that in non-video form. Even just a one line summary.

            Maybe but context is useful regardless. Improved posting standards just makes for a better community.

            Also this post popped up in all feed so it’s not like you’re an isolated little pocket.

      Steam has the exact same setup, you don’t own anything there either. It is all perpetual limited licenses. The only difference is that Steam has so far kept up the illusion of ownership.

      This should be legally disallowed, “Buy” means ownership.

        You are both correct. I’ll usually double buy my favourites. One of steam early on, especially for Linux compatibility ease, then on gog years later on sale.
