I also think everyone here is arguing about the same thing, just explaining from different angles.

As a result, your viewing experience will be diminished, and you have been placed in read-only mode.

Having something physically does not make you own the whole content.

Its waaaaaaay more expensive than what you think and youd be able to pay for it.

Script Hook V Critical Error License Is Required

How is this possible if a license is required to play They can block you from online content, but if you violate the terms of agreement they cant come to your house and take away your copies because you own the copies.

What I dont own is the license ability to make a legal profit.

The only thing that comes close to the exception is iPhones because you are renting the hardware to run the software.

They can take your phone away if requested, but no one is going to take away my copy of gta 5 and thats ownership.

I can buy one outright (not lease, no licensing agreement) for 25k.

Because RD is amortized over the course of a production run.

Regardless, like I said already about the Steam version, this literally proves my point about diminishing consumer rights.

In fact, I looked up the EULA for GTAV and guess what Theres an arbitration clause in it.

Those are pretty much the pinnacle of what Im talking about; consumers rights to challenge a company in a court of law are now being privatized in a system where the corporate defendant wins 90-some-odd percent of the time.

And thats not just part of license agreements, but also employment agreements, meaning employees cant sue their employer in a real court of law, only these kangaroo courts.

The property rights of the game (which we dont have) are a different story that have nothing to do with the research and development costs.

Script Hook V Critical Error Offline Mode But

They mainly take blocking measures (which is not revoking a license but restricting you from accessing) in Online as they dont really care about what does people do in Offline mode but still they could do it in offline aswell.

If they can do that is because you dont own the game, only the license to use it.

You can use Windows because you own a license but you have no property rights other than that.

If you want to literally buy the game (as in transfer ownership), be prepared to shell out several billion dollar to Rockstar.

The confusion simply exists because, while we may casually say we bought the game, we really just buy a license to use.

Ive got a challenge for you: turn your phone off for a day and see how uncomfortable you get.

Cara Delevingne.

They have absolutely no way of preventing me from playing offline, thats why its called offline.
