This has always bothered me, in general, take games for example ; if I pay $70 for a game on the PS5, why cant I run same game on my PC?

I bought the game, not the platform.

FU - I am paying for running the 'license' of the game on a given GPU/CPU?

its Oracle Licensing policy, recall when Oracle tied your DB lic to a CPU? Fuck that.



You didn't even buy a game, you but a license to a game. One that often can't even be resold like normal licensed wares.

Luckily, piracy remains an option if you're willing to download patches manually.
