To anyone who has payed money for an Activision game...
Be aware of the fact that you didn't buy the game itself. You didn't even buy the disc. You rented the right to use the game. The game itself, the disc and everything you bought in-game (DLC) is still owned by Activision. It's not your's.
Yeah, I got Black Ops II last week, and I got a bit bored, but I couldn't play the game, so I decided to read the purchase agreement. Turns out they can come to my house any minute to take everything away...

It's actually an agreement for all modern games now.

Edited by annoyinginge: 2/10/2013 3:50:27 PMIt's a legal necessity, nothing more. Ignore it. By any meaningful definition of the concept, you own the game.

1 ReplyThat is the same with EVERY PIECE OF MEDIA YOU BUY ON A DISC.

2 RepliesThis is the case with nearly any IP on optical, magnetic or paper media. You don't "own" your paperback copy of Ender's Game. You own a licensed copy of it. The story, the words, the characters do not belong to you. Same with your Bieber CD. You don't own his songs, the sound of his voice or any of the music. You own a licensed copy of the music and are limited in what you can do with or to the content of the disc. That's also true of games. You didn't make it, you paid for a licensed copy and the permission of the owner to play the game within specific guidelines. Have you been asleep for the past 10-20 years or something?
