There's a lot of crossover here. It encompasses the "you rent everything and own nothing" aspect of today's society. It's multi-billion corporations against consumers.

A win here will be something that will expose chinks in the armour for a lot of other issues. I know it might seem unimportant because it's games, but that's its beauty. It's a backdoor into so many other fights.

  • Exactly! Some examples:

    • right to repair - actually owning games is similar to actually owning laptops and phones
    • ads in cars, apps, etc that you've bought - do you really own it if it's littered with ads you don't control?

    Set the precedent, then gradually expand scope.
