Do lots of suicidal people shout out their intentions before they do them?

“they also can lean on the governments”

Dude was planning on charging for the mod, too. Really dumb all around. 

If a lawsuit was going to be made, it would have been filed when the game was announced.

Wolf look like wolf.

That’s not how quotes work.

Using American copyright law won’t help much, since Pocket Pair and Nintendo are both in Japan. 

PC gaming shows that most of this hand wringing over digital release console games really is just pearl clutching. The worst thing that will happen is that eventually everyone will move over to PC, killing the console market entirely, or consoles will become their own Steam-type stores.

You don’t own a game, full stop, digital or otherwise. You have a license, and that's it. 

Even graded on a nostalgia curve it only managed an 84. That is mediocre.

According to every review I’ve seen, it’s a mediocre game. That’s separate from it having no cultural impact.

McDonald’s has way more cultural relevance than In-n-Out. Does that make it a better burger?

Some entertainment lasts and becomes culture.

Nope, didn’t say anything approaching that. You have established that people have bought and played the game. You have not established that anyone cares about the game after they’re done with it. It’s disposable entertainment.

Again, none of your data supports your claim that people care about it today. You’re just making assumptions based on secondary data.

People cared, for a month. Then it left the collective subconscious.

Imagine if you devoted 1/10th of the energy you expended defending a billionaire on anything else. Like, for example, the people she brazenly wishes to disenfranchise.

I don’t remember anyone saying no one cared, but I would expect some to say that w/ the internet being what it is. OTOH I do remember a few posters pointing out that the anti-Rowling crowd was risking boosting the game via Streisand Effect and also creating a thing for culture warriors to turn into a rallying point.

Man I am getting old. the last tomb raider I played was the 2013 one which I really enjoyed 

This is more of a broad statement than a comment on GAME’s prices specifically (mainly as I haven’t even seen a GAME in ages), but the big savings on second hand games are in older titles. As in, wait a year or two and the price is halved or quartered. It makes console gaming a really cheap hobby if you're patient.
