actually when you agree to those long terms of service before starting a game you are agreeing that you only have a license to the software and they can legally revoke that license for any reason. that said overly complicated TOS that a user probably can't understand can be challenged in court but I'm not aware of any legal challenges that happened for that for video games

NTA but when your physical copy of a game is a defacto install disc the first sale is mostly irrelevant. You own basically a disc installer of a game that requires a 70GB+ "title update" to function.

You do realize that if there's a physical disk, you can resell it, right? And someone else can buy it used, at a discount?

If there's no disk and only a download code, first of all, they can permanently ban your license and you lose your money for saying the gamer word. Second, you can't resell it and nobody else can buy it used in a month or a year. EVERYONE has to pay full price DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLISHER.

Even if the disk doesn't have all the patches and extra content on it, it still enables playing at least the game. I got FF15 for $5 used. Yeah it didn't have all the DLC, but I still was able to play the game.

So is your implication that the law's changed and now Gamestop legally can't sell used games, massive retard?
>>
>>742229494
So the traditional explanation was that what they ship is the gold master. They say okay, now the game is done and certified and ready to ship, this is the game we send to be printed on discs. But between that point and the official release date there's still a lot of time, and they keep working during that time, find and fix more bugs, etc, and all that can't make it on the disc because the master is done. So it's a day1 patch.
The modern explanation is because they want to brick offline only discs.

I cannot fathom how Rockstar of all companies would go digital only in the current political climate. This is the same company that was placed under federal investigation over the hot coffee mod. They now want the whole game completely digital, always online, which will expose them to every whim, fancy, petty grudge and public demand Washington fancies to place on them at any moment.

9 years olds start cursing in Nebraska food courts: Instant patch demand
Players start typing Hezbollah slogans in chat: FBI access to player records
Video of clans re-enacting Oct 7th: IHRA enabled AI assistants monitoring all player behavior.
WW3 begins: Telemetric feedback of top minigame players to help the Pentagon recruit drone pilots.
The list is endless. You become an online service with a game of this size, you become the stock market, the media, and the governments bottom bitch. I'll bet half of Fornite's maintainance budget is dealing with petty enforcement requests from the the US, UK and every other western goverment.

They aren't taking a stand, I can't image anyone still cares in 2026. The internet is for safe-fighting behind the comfort of your phone and literally every event must be politicized and argued about whether it actually affects you or not. 4chan is not immune from this stupidity, if anything this is ground zero for that type of Gamer Gate "my side must win" endless fighting.

If they actually cared they'd invest in physical media or find some way to make it last longer than 10 years, but they don't. They wait for the lunchlady of corporatism to ladle the slop onto their tray and then they'll say thank-you afterwards. All puff and no substance.
>>
>>742229273
Games haven't done that in over 10 years because optical media is slow for read times. Even then the PS4 struggled with long load times reading from the HDD. The amount of data streaming games do now makes active disc reading non viable.
>>
>>742236064

game devs didn't see it as worthwhile to pursue a lawsuit over used games, because in their minds old games had already ran their course and were no longer going to make them money anyway. Once they figured out an effective way to keep reselling old games (digitally), they reoriented their business model towards phasing out physical hardware.
