But... you still don't own it. You own an ~~Ubi~~ EA-controlled, revocable license to play the game.
and if they let me buy it license free I would. However between the options of buying a license to play a game whenever I want vs renting it for 1 month, I'll take the license.
Ubi? I thought Dragon Age was EA
lol fair enough, it's Bioware, but the point still stands
Ah I thought I missed the news and Ubi purchased the rights or something. The point does still stand, yeah. Parent comment made the same point too
I mean it’s the same for Steam.
Edit: I’m dumb. I didn’t read the parent comment.
