China's courts say your digital game items are inheritable – Steam and The West disagree

[Morphology]

Oops! It's not that "you could say" you're purchasing a license, you are purchasing a license. Period. Not a product. Don't beg the question by pretending otherwise.

I am not pretending anything, I am not ignoring anything and I am not naive. Why making such infantile assumptions? If you want to know more or understand my reasoning or point of view, just ask, don't assume.

You're sadly naive if you believe the CCP respects property rights, or is "pro consumer", and this article has gaslit you over what the courts actually ruled here. This wasn't a dispute with a corporation over EULA terms, this was a civil case between two women: the man's wife, and his "in game" girlfriend. And the court didn't even make a sensible, consistent decision here, but merely used Babylonian-era "King Solomon" thinking, and gave half to each.

1. Did I say anywhere that CCP, in general, respects property rights? No. Why would you ever entertain such silly idea? The discussion was focused on this case.

2. The article did not gaslight me. Not at all. I feel gaslit by your posts.

3. It does not really matter that this was a civil case between two individuals. This and similar rulings, which you could read more about on reddit, set a legal framework on how to rule in similar cases in future. It becomes de facto, and de jure, practised law. A state prosecutor does not need to summon Sony, Valve or others to sue them for some absurd anti-consumer articles in EULA in order to change how they write EULAa. A state does not have time to waste on such nonsense. They have normal, everyday courts to deal with it.
