I feel like this post belongs under c/gaming rather than c/technology....

Things do not exist in a bubble. If gaming can get away with taking your ownership of games, it will come to another industry next. Games are one of the most profitable industries in the world now, as much as people like to treat it as a "thing children do" - it is actively participating in writing the playbooks of other industries. People need to be made aware of the scummy shit the industry has gotten up to without any of the proper regulations to curb it.

I agree with that, but this just doesn't scream "Technology" worthy news to me.

But I think I'm just at the point where I need to find another community that's a bit more focused on new up and coming technology rather than the latest drama about something that uses technology.
