Why do folks think that game companies deserve special treatment?

If you were a race car driver and you won a race using Hoosier tires do you think that you should have to give them a cut of your winnings?

As far as letting folks see the story of a story based game, do you think that there shouldn't be public libraries where people can read just about any books for free? How about after I beat a game, do you think I shouldn't be able to tell a friend the entire story in detail if they asked me to because they don't want to play it?

Lets say you throw a party and you decide to put some music on that you bought, would you go around to everyone in earshot and ask them to kick in a buck for each song so you can send that money to whoever you bought your music from?

When I buy a game my obligation to a game company is complete. They created a product and I purchased it. That copy is now mine to practically do as I please with. No reason to insert your opinion about how I just bought a license to use said game, I'm not talking about reverse engineering it here. I now own a copy of game and now I feel like streaming, game company should have no say about that in any form what so ever.


Do you also believe that if you buy a movie you should be able to stream it? If not, why are games different than movies? If yes, lol.

Games are different than movies because they're usually highly interactive. Visual Novels don't really count as games, as there's no gameplay beyond choosing a certain dialogue option. If we call that gameplay, we might as well call choose-your-own-adventure books games as well, but those are books and not games. Video games and movies are completely different mediums, despite how developers these days are trying so hard to blur the lines. Thus, this question of "Do you also believe that if you buy a movie you should be able to stream it?" is irrelevant and not a good comparison.
