!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

They market it roughly like that, but without explicitly saying that you buy any more ownership than you would elsewhere. That's because you buy the exact same license rights, the difference is that they deliberately forgo an enforcement mechanism.
I think it's the best they can do, because otherwise the publishers wouldn't play ball. But still this licensing deal is not really what we want when we ask to own our copies.
