When will they learn

A four-panel comic meme criticizing Ubisoft's approach to game ownership. The top-left panel displays 'BUYING DOESN'T COUNT AS OWNERSHIP' alongside the Ubisoft logo, implying frustration with the company's ownership policies (e.g., DRM, always-online requirements). The top-right panel features a simple, animated character responding, 'THEN PIRACY DOESN'T COUNT AS THEFT,' using sarcasm to argue that if purchasing a game doesn't grant true ownership, then piracy shouldn't be labeled as theft. The bottom-left panel shows the character with a neutral expression, and the bottom-right panel shows the same character looking angry, emphasizing the critical tone. The meme uses a minimalist drawing style with bold text to convey its message.

Criticizing Ubisoft's stance on game ownership by equating buying without ownership to piracy not being theft

Overview

A four-panel comic meme criticizing Ubisoft's approach to game ownership. The top-left panel displays 'BUYING DOESN'T COUNT AS OWNERSHIP' alongside the Ubisoft logo, implying frustration with the company's ownership policies (e.g., DRM, always-online requirements). The top-right panel features a simple, animated character responding, 'THEN PIRACY DOESN'T COUNT AS THEFT,' using sarcasm to argue that if purchasing a game doesn't grant true ownership, then piracy shouldn't be labeled as theft.

Origin notes

The meme originates from Reddit's Meme community, created by an anonymous user. It is likely synthesized using basic digital drawing tools or meme generators (e.g., imgflip) given its simple art style and text placement. The content appears to be a user-generated critique of Ubisoft's digital rights management practices, common in gaming discussions about ownership and piracy.
