Game Ownership Score Browser Extension
Build a browser extension and web database that rates games on true ownership factors such as offline survivability, account dependence, DRM burden, self-hostability, and transfer limitations. The core value is helping buyers avoid purchases that may later become inaccessible or overly restricted.
Por qué es importante
You are about to buy a digital game, but the store page does not clearly tell you whether the title needs constant account checks, whether offline access expires, or whether the publisher can effectively remove value later. You may only discover the restrictions after purchase, when servers fail or policies shift. Existing storefronts optimize for conversion, not for preserving your rights, and community answers are scattered and inconsistent. A simple ownership score shown during checkout would turn a vague fear into a practical decision tool, especially for players building large libraries and trying to avoid titles that become rentals in disguise.
- · Creado para PC and console gamers who buy digital titles regularly and care about long-term access, DRM, and preservation before spending money..

Resumen de evidencia
Cómo la IA sintetizó esta información: sin citas textuales
Many commenters focused on revocation risk, account dependence, and the gap between paying for a game and actually controlling access to it. Several contrasted DRM-free options with mainstream platforms and described frustration when authentication or policy changes undermine ownership. Price complaints also suggest people want a smarter way to decide where and what to buy, not just a cheaper price.
