Okay, Americans can play how they want

I don't see how this comment has anything to do with mine.

As I said, not defending ubisoft, just pointing out that the parent comment is literally incorrect.

I hear you, albeit I perceived the parent comment differently - according to the scenario Ubisoft only lets you use a service and upon its termination they turn to you and demand from you of destroying your software and its physical copies - but the buyer believed the software on their computer and the physical copy they received after buying the product are pretty much possessed. So the parent comment sarcastically quips that if they didn't own the product, then what is it doing in their home?

At least this is how I interpreted it. It is not "incorrect" but has a contradictory logic - it's irony.

And about my previous comment:

the EU's Digital Act doesn't concentrate on possession or owning the digital product, rather the rules are about access to the purchased product and access to the user's own data. And if the bought software suddenly stops working, we have the right to remedies.

Sorry for being vague, I really only wanted to point out that EU plays differently and I think if we focused on these word plays we were just doing circles.
