Ubisoft Director of Subscriptions really opened the floodgates of bad behavior when they came out saying "Gamers need to get comfortable with not owning their games".

I think these companies need to be reminded they do not own our PCs either.

I'm really starting to like that mantra of "If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing".

The full context of that quote, which everyone conveniently omits, is ”for subscriptions to take off”.

As in, gaming subscription services like Xbox’s GamePass won’t succeed if gamers prefer to buy games over paying a monthly sub.
