    🤷‍♂️

    Agree to disagree that it’s pointless. You agree to the service or don’t use the service. Nobody is forcing your hand at buying video games.

    But it should be clearer for the dumb dumbs, definitely.

      You agree to the service or don’t use the service.

      if it were so simple. it can be done with pure entertainment services, but nowhere else.

      But it should be clearer for the dumb dumbs, definitely.

      Congratulations, you just called everyone dumb dumb who simply just has so little time and energy after work that they literally can’t read the terms and follow the updates to all the terms, or else they wouldn’t get to use the services.

        I haven’t even read it, but I still understand it because it says subscriber agreement.

        🤷‍♂️

          “subscriber agreement” makes no sense when you press a “buy” button and you pay once, not continuously. going by that, it just makes sense that a subscriber agreement is not in effect, because there is no subscription, or you would be paying for a continued subscription at regular intervals

            I understood it so it made “sense” to me.

            It never says “buy” anywhere on any button.

              Congratulations, that is you. you are unlike most other people. and it is not because everyone other than you is dumb dumb.

              It never says “buy” anywhere on any button.

              true. it says “add to cart”, as if adding a non-consumable physical item, like a boxed DVD, to a shopping cart. then “continue to payment” and “estimated total price”.

              steam is the least offender. other places do have buy buttons where buying does not result in owning.
