Any thoughts on the new false advertising law in California?


California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it - The Verge

The legislation will force digital storefronts to tell customers they’re just getting a license to use the digital media, rather than suggesting they actually own it.

When the law comes into effect next year, it will ban digital storefronts from using terms like “buy” or “purchase,” unless they inform customers that they’re not getting unrestricted access to whatever they’re buying. Storefronts will have to tell customers they’re getting a license that can be revoked as well as provide a list of all the restrictions that come along with it. Companies that break the rule could be fined for false advertising.

I think its the right thing to do. How many customers feel swindled because they buy something digitally and then are confused when yhey lose that media?

Well, after over 25 years I can finally say I've beaten Ghouls and Ghosts.

The second run through to find the goddess wasn't bad. Having some inclination of the level design and using the turbo button helped. The goddess power let's you destroy the final level chain of bosses fairly easily.

There's still some rank bullshit going on. Using the rewind feature, depending on when you released it, you can see the AI adapting in a microsecond to blatantly screw you over.

Still, it's done so I can appreciate the games iconic character designs and music without hating it too much.

Years ago Disney had a MOD, Made on demand dvd service.

I ordered Gargoyles season 2 and this Pirate animation I forgot the name of. They literally burn the disc, print the cover and post it out.

What we need is a law that forces companies to have this as a backstop for those that want a printed copy of their digital game.

Or have a series of servers, backed up by various insurance companies, that legally guarantee that you will have access to redownload in perpetuity.

Otherwise, why not put a bluray burner drive in the console, let us make our own discs as backups.

I've started saving all my digital game receipt emails in one folder for some future date, if I need them.

Epic Mickey's good/evil choices are interesting. I've been playing it choosing "good" option (with the intention of replaying it "evil" later on). However, there's a phone in Mickey's house holding a wrench that a Gremlin needs to fix the bridge leading to my next area. The phone refused to give me the wrench unless I restore all of its power boxes around town. I wondered around a bit, got bored, then talked with the Gremlin, who gave me the option to allow him to "get the wrench" himself. I chose that, and now the phone is gone (destroyed?) making me wonder how that will change the game later on. The weird part is I actually feel bad about the phone. LOL
