So do you sue MTG because no one wants to play magic anymore?

Same with the pogs people?

The other incredibly shit things people fawn over and then discard like trash?

No dude. You're trying to sell me some bullshit and I'm not buying it. That's what you don't get!

I would accept that if I did pay for such a thing I would be a complete fucking moron and so -no - I wouldn't be entitled to a refund. And that's probably expressed in their policy - they don't issue refunds - and so I don't know why you would want one after you've read their terms and you've agreed to buy in their product with the expectation of no refund.

You sound completely fucking insane.

    I think the refrigerator example is a much more accurate representation of what's happening here.

    It's not about whether you can find friends to play with, its about a company remotely disabling something you bought which should be able to work whether it's connected to the internet or not.

    What if a bunch of car manufacturers start requiring an internet connection just to turn on your car (for security/safety reasons). Then after 5 years they shut down those servers and say, "buy a new one". You're telling me that, rather than supporting a law to deter the practice, you would rather just avoid buying cars from that company?

    Abstractions were always a problem for you.

    As towards your question. Yes. And a harder yes. I would not buy shit from them. And if I saw their vehicles I might slash the tires and smash a window or four.

    That's the problem with most of you on lemmmeeeeznuts. You're like half punk, sometimes, you're not a real punk cuz you don't really want to do anything that might get you in trouble but you really love people who do?

    Grow some balls.

    And if every car manufacturer starts to do the same thing with their vehicles, then you won't be left with much of a choice. And no amount of slashing tires or smashing windows will actually change anything.

    At that point the only option you have left is to go through the legal system. That's where real change can happen.

    Side note, technically I'm not on Lemmy, I'm on PieFed. But we're all connected, so I'm assuming you actually meant to talk about Fediverse users in general.

    I was referring only to you.

    That's not the first time you've been wrong. I added a quote, just for/by u.

    Cuz apparently you can't fucking read or you don't know what you just said.
