Finally some good news! I’ve been waiting for quite a while for such a ruling.

Edit: Seems this cites an article from 2012, I didn’t notice that (and it’s still news to me). Though there’s still hope that it’ll happen, EU is slow, but usually eventually gets shit done.

    What about bigger games like BG3? What’s stopping me from buying it full price, copying the files somewhere and then instantly reselling it? It would probably force them to implement strict DRM restrictions, and probably the nasty rootkit kind.

    The same thing that’s stopping you from downloading the files now. A combination of ethics and the value legitimately owning the game adds to your purchase.

      Yeah, you could already pirate it today. You could even buy it, copy files and refund it, but you probably don’t.
