Not exactly good news for web2 gamers today, but for web3 gamers hell yeah haha! Anyways this is somewhat worrying sign for the future of the gaming industry, Blizzard's new user agreement tells players that they don't own the games they buy, but merely purchase a license to play them, implying that this license could be revoked at any time."
This is something that seems like it had to happen eventually... according to many analysts working with or observing the digital future as it unfolds. I suppose as we own fewer game discs and games are less on disc... anyway, we're moving more and more towards the idea that you might just not really need to own your games anymore, and that the company just lets you play them as a concept. Well hey, analyst are you paying attention to what is happening over at web3 gaming communities lol! In web3 we by the way try everything to own the game ourself or at least have a stake in it. Jesus... analysts these days, we need new up and coming young analysts that see the new world for what it is.
Anyways I'll just write what Blizzard included in the new update in the new user agreement:
"Your use of the Platform is licensed, not sold, to you, and you hereby acknowledge that no title or ownership with respect to the Platform or the Games is being transferred or assigned and this Agreement should not be construed as a sale of any rights"..
This shift in ownership dynamics is becoming increasingly prevalent in the gaming industry, pushing gamers to question the traditional model. However, this also presents an opportunity to explore the emerging world of Web3 gaming, where ownership and player empowerment are central principles.
In the realm of Web3 gaming, powered by blockchain technology, players have true ownership of in-game assets and can participate in decentralized governance. Instead of merely purchasing a license, players can own digital assets outright, trade them in open markets, and even influence the direction of the games they love through decentralized governance mechanisms. Currently, 
Ok lets go on.. Imagine a future where players truly own their game items, where in-game economies are transparent and decentralized, and where decisions about the game's development are made collectively by the community. This is the promise of Web3 gaming, and it stands in stark contrast to the restrictive models of Web2 gaming. As we witness the limitations of centralized gaming platforms like Blizzard here, more players are exploring the possibilities of Web3 gaming ecosystems. It's not just about playing games; it's about participating in a digital economy where players are empowered and valued. Come on guys, this is the future. It is like Netflix in 2010, of course you wanted to go from disc to streaming, discs won't last forever.
So, while the current landscape may raise concerns about ownership and control, it also serves as a catalyst for the transition towards Web3 gaming. It's an exciting time to be a gamer, where the principles of decentralization and ownership redefine the gaming experience.
Let's keep an eye on the developments in Web3 gaming, especially
