Keep licking the boot, I'm sure Disney/Microsoft/etc will pay you eventually lmao.
What makes this scenario:
Ok, so if the company sent out an email to everyone saying "hey, reply to this email and we'll send you an EXE that doesn't need our servers specifically" and then you not doing so would be... what exactly? You being a massive retard?
Different than what happened? Because they sent that email out
repeatedly. Sure, it didn't contain a crack but it did contain a literal 1 click button to solve the problem. A button that
gave you free shit on top of solving the problem. It isn't thievery if you don't take that offer.
It's the exact same as you leaving a car with a repair shop after having paid half the repair cost. Sure, you technically paid for part of it. Hell, you might have paid for the entire cost.
But if you don't pick it up they are given the legal right to auction it off or have it impounded, and if you don't get it from the impound? Tough shit, they'll scrap it or impound it themselves.
You abandoned the property, don't be surprised when it isn't there anymore when you come back
two fucking years later.
