Digital storefronts won’t be able to use words like ‘buy’ or ‘purchase’ unless they make the disclosure. https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/26/24254922/california-digital-purchase-disclosure-law-ab-2426

California is the state that requires all food sold to warn that lead is dangerous.

You pay to license the content on physical games, too. The law doesn't allow you to "own" anything when it comes to gaming.

@Kajiuran you're perfectly within your rights to resell or rip the files out of a physical game, though. You can't do that to a digital download

Good seeing companies forced to blackpill consumers on how digital console games are a scam.
