That's interesting. I don't for a second think this will actually curtail the harmful business practices, but what do you recon they'll write on their buttons?

That's interesting. I don't for a second think this will actually curtail the harmful business practices, but what do you recon they'll write on their buttons? Maybe just dance around any meaningful verbiage with a button that just has a dollar sign or shopping cart on it? Just "Proceed" or "Confirm"?

- tiltowait 2y ago“Get” replaced “free”, because it was misleading to call apps free when most have in-app purchases.
- beretguy 2y ago“Get” sounds good to me. I’ll know not to get any games that have “Get” button. Hopefully this law spreads to Steam across the board so that people outside of California can also benefit from it.

- summermusic 2y agoI’d argue that a reasonable person would understand these terms to confer an unrestricted ownership interest. I’m putting this good into a metaphorical container and taking it to a metaphorical till. This implies a sort of tangibility, a property of physical goods that I’d walk out of the metaphorical store to own.
- kstrauser 2y agoThat’s a good point. The real world experience they’re analogizing is me putting a bottle of ketchup in a shopping cart at a grocery store and checking out at the cashier. Afterward, I own that bottle of ketchup, not a license to ketchup, but that instance of it. “Shopping cart” and “checkout” imply “buying”, and I can’t think of a counterexample.
