This is contradictory to what other people have posted.
Can you give links to people saying RoC key still works? Because all I heard is that it doesn’t. Also, when I downloaded Reforged, I only needed TfT key. Lastly, go to your Transaction history, there isn’t game name next to RoC.
Technically it does.
Computer Software does NOT get “used up”. A brand new game copy is no different from a used one (unless modded). Not to mention, that the company is selling “copies”, that alone defeats this argument.
This is different from goods like paper towel (your analogy), that gets used up. That’s why I said that it wasn’t a good analogy.
Otherwise fraudsters would buy the game, play it to completion and then demand a refund to effectively get the game for free.
And in that case it would be understandable. But this is not what we are discussing. We are discussing the (il)legality of company up and taking a product away, without warning, and without providing an option to refund.
However under the ToU the company might reserve the right to remove or revoke your licence to play the product at any time and for any reason.
What the company CAN do, is prevent you from using their servers, i.e. banning you from online games. Why? Cuz Providing you with their servers is a SERVICE, an ongoing one. Yes, they CAN cut that at any point.
What the company CANNOT do, is prevent you from playing a game. Because the game copy that you have, is a GOODS, and belongs to you. Once you buy it, you are the owner of that copy
(Plus, the only way they could do it, is come to your home, and remove the game from your computer. )
P.S. I forgot to address one of your previous arguments:
They updated the product. It was not replaced.
It’s technically a “remaster”, so a whole new product. It looks different, the performance is different, you have to download over 20gb of different content.
On top of that, both versions of Reforged require a stronger system than original did. Especially talking about Reforged mode, that needs a pretty high end system (compared to original) to run properly.
And there already there complaint in the forums, that some people who owned original, cannot play Reforged cuz too high system reqs. And they’ve no official way to get the game they paid for, that would be playable for them.
