That is not informing the potential buyer in a simple way, that’s hiding the information in a different page, one which is a long text made up of legalese which one need Legal Training to fully understand.
You’re just making my point.
You know what would be a simple, obvious, honest way of in that page of telling the purchaser that they’re buying a license?
To the left of the discount and the price put the text “BUY A LICENSE FOR:”
“Strangely” Steam chooses not do any such thing or similar and instead chooses to “inform” buyers with a link to a different page which is a wall of legal text.
I’m not really arguing against your point either though. I’m just saying it’s there. But I agree it can and should be clearer. I’m agreeing with you. 😉
nobody said otherwise. It’s pointless to be arguing that point. It’s like saying, google can monopolize the smartphone market because they have allowed that themselves in the terms of service, and people clearly agreed that and more
You agree to the service or don’t use the service.
if it were so simple. it can be done with pure entertainment services, but nowhere else.
But it should be clearer for the dumb dumbs, definitely.
Congratulations, you just called everyone dumb dumb who simply just has so little time and energy after work that they literally can’t read the terms and follow the updates to all the terms, or else they wouldn’t get to use the services.
“subscriber agreement” makes no sense when you press a “buy” button and you pay once, not continuously. going by that, it just makes sense that a subscriber agreement is not in effect, because there is no subscription, or you would be paying for a continued subscription at regular intervals

Agree to disagree that it’s pointless. You agree to the service or don’t use the service. Nobody is forcing your hand at buying video games.

I haven’t even read it, but I still understand it because it says subscriber agreement.

I understood it so it made “sense” to me.
It never says “buy” anywhere on any button.
