This is why I stick to open source software for anything truly important.
Gaming's a mix of open source, physical retro games and the least abusive free to play games.
Harebrained Schemes' critically acclaimed Shadowrun games disappeared from the Play store years ago -- I played them back in the day on my Shield K1. The apps supported modding, and changes to the Google Play TOS meant they would require significant updates to make them compliant with new policies.
Harebrained worked on it halfheartedly for a year or two, but eventually decided not to bother updating them, so they were gone forever.
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy
It's because we are buying access to product not the product itself. Many websites are doing that, I lost a few purchased albums on Bandcamp for whatever reason they see fit. With one band it was done so bad that I still see their albums in my wishlist even though they just one day went and deleted their whole band account apparently without stating reason or answering email.
Because you rented it and you we're happy!
I heard there was such a fantastic whimsical thing called "false advertising, punishable by law", but apparently as long as companies keep a bundle of inscrutable legalese shoved up their asses and fart it at you AFTER you press the button clearly labeled "BUY", it mysteriously ceases to exist.
Funny that customers can't spring documents at companies to demand stuff and treat continuation of the transaction as implicit agreement. Then, suddenly it's unfair and ridiculous.
Because god is dead and the devil thinks its funny.
You have it backwards - those who embrace the devil are actually fighting against this unfettered crony capitalism that is supported by Christians, especially in the US.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
