Because the difference seemed to be what your point was. If it wasn’t, I have no idea what it was. I paid for a license for a game. Thus I paid for a game.
That was my point – I was building off of what you said…

This is exactly the problem. This should be true, but it isn’t in most cases.
Store’s like GOG get much closer by giving you a DRM free copy. But some would say that even then, if you aren’t allowed to modify and distribute that, you don’t really own the game either.
You did, and that licence comes with plenty of terms that can restrict or revoke your access to that game.
Which shouldn’t be allowed, but it is.
In an ideal world, you wouldn’t have to purchase a license to the game at all. You could purchase the game itself by receiving a packaged copy of it along with a copy of the source code.

Okay so if I didn’t pay for a license for a game, what did I pay for?

But something inbetween would be a nice start.
Great, I’m glad we sorted that out. Thanks for the unnecessary clarification.
Lol you say you want a discussion and then act like a dickhead when someone engages in that discussion.
Nice work.
I didn’t say I wanted a discussion? Why are you misquoting me? I just honestly have no fucking idea what your point is and it’s tiresome. Goodbye now.
This you?
Skill issue.
How convenient that you omitted the part of the sentence that describes what the conversation is about. It wasn’t this.
