| The issue is that it doesn't have to be that way, didn't used to be that way, and isn't that way for pirates. Just because it's the state of affairs doesn't mean it's acceptable. Consoles are arguably a better experience in several regards, and I want the PC to be as enjoyable, considering PCs cost more; e.g. you can play Diablo 3 without an internet connection on PlayStation, but not on PC. You can play some random AAA game on a console without having to put in a key or maintain an account or a third party client (or multiple third party clients!), where on PC you have to do those things. You can sell a console game or give it to your friend when you finish playing it, but on PC it's "already activated". Google is going to take all the above and make it worse, so they can get their % of the sale too. Just because some company wants us to do something or behave some way doesn't make us obligated to do so. |

Don't use it if you don't like it ? Google launching something doesn't mean you're "obligated" in any way, so I don't know what you're trying to say with that sentence.
