Accessing content I paid for isn't pirating. And corporations have been working in eroding our ownership of the things we pay for years now. You can stop pretending they haven't
You payed for accessing the content the way it's described in the ToS. I expect you haven't read the ToS. It's a contract. Violating that contract is piracy. There is no argueing about that. If you think piracy is morally okey then that's your thing and your opinion that I respect. But it's definitely piracy.
Nah. They changed the game. It didn't used to be like that. You bought a physical copy, you owned that copy. Now they've added some bullshit "it's actually a lease and we can review access at any time we want, fuck consumer" language. Stop defending this nonsense.
All that anti repair garbage going in, also. And game console Companies suing you for modifying your own machine.
