  • That’s not what’s being said here. Not Sony losing rights to a game, just entirely being unable to provide proof of ownership on digital content.

    I’ve had Microsoft do this to me for Minecraft during their transition to owning it where they claimed I didn’t own the game. I had to legitimately email them a picture of a receipt I owned to get my account back. Had I not had that receipt I’d not have the game.

    I’ve never had Sony do this but I hear they’ve done this exact thing to people in other ways usually DLCs.

    With NFTs there’s a third party undeniable proof of purchase and ownership. It takes that whole side away from the distributor giving power to the consumer.

    In a better world I could then sell that NFT and proof of purchase and the company would honor it for the person I sold it to allowing for the resale of digital content.

    I don’t get months of holidays? I haven’t had off in years bro. I get two days off from my job a year I don’t request, I am a chef.

    Peasants always stopped working, work was probably done before the sun was even close to going down. Hunting, fishing, cooking are leisure activities they aren’t work you imagine.

    It took long to produce clothes but you don’t need 47 outfits that are made to fall apart in less than a year.

    150 days isn’t a myth. It is a stretch of the truth but we work more, we have less time. We have more ability to do things like travel or forms of entertainment but no.

    You are confusing the peasants of then with middle class people. The poors, me, we work 40-60 hours a week sometimes two jobs with no vacations often in the hours office workers aren’t working because we are running the movie theaters, salting the roads, cooking your food, etc.

    A 9-5 is probably not actually the peasantry.

    People had more free time and less stressors than we do today.

    I don’t know why you think modern people have more leisure time?

    Peasant work was seasonal first of all, most work wasn’t consistent nor were they afforded wages. Most works resulted in a direct product for the person doing the work, cooking, clothes making, farming.

    You don’t understand how much leisure peasants had. Most culture we consider today is from peasant work. Dancing, music, song, joking, and while cooking is work cooking is also a social gathering of work and then eating. Peasants weren’t the working class we are today, we work far more and have far more chores to do. Making clothes by hand was harder but your quality was higher and clothes lasted, they didn’t shop for groceries or deal with car upkeep, they didn’t spend 8 hours at work and an hour traveling both ways.

    Peasants were peasants because they didn’t have work to do and generate income with, it was literally mostly chores or leisure.

    This is why the black plague was helpful, less people meant workers could make more demands and we see the beginning of a work culture develop.
