During a virtual meeting isn't an employee's free time...even if their mic is supposed to be off. Lol

That's just semantics.
When you buy a CD, you don't own the songs.
But you do have some item that belongs to you.
With Steam, you have a ticket that will let you into Steam to download the game for as long as your account is in good standing and as long as Steam exists.
With GOG, you have a file you can use to install the game on any machine INDEFINITELY. GOG can't revoke your access for any reason, and if GOG shuts down, you can still install the games.
With GOG, you can buy any game, and you'll have files to keep. Once you have the installer, you can keep that forever.
Even if your GOG account is hacked, banned, and GOG goes out of business, you can forever install your game onto any compatible machine, even offline, and play the game.
That's what GOG does differently.
It's like buying a physical game, except there's no disc. They can't revoke your access or deactivate your ability to play the game.
Those are often categorized as
Legend of Zelda, The
Star Control 2
This is "NoStupidQuestions", not "AnythingGoes", lol
Not a current student, but know some in tech programs. At least in colleges (as opposed to universities), a lot of professors have been moving away from textbooks. But maybe the students I know are just lucky, lol
There are still publishers who do exactly what you describe. Pearson was doing maybe 10% off for the digital copy. You could buy used textbooks, but then you'd need to buy the "digital pass" for the homework, which was more than half the cost of the book (and it wouldn't give any digital access to the book itself).
People will click whatever's stopping them from the dopamine hit of adding a game they're probably not going to play to their library.
It'd be even harder to stop someone who actually WANTS to play the game they're paying for! Lol
The music on the CD is copyrighted, but you're free to use the Bass Boost feature or whatever on the thing you're playing the music from
I remember when this was first starting, the digital copies were like 30% cheaper. A lot of people, including myself, took them up on it because it made most things easier. (Especially when publishers would be coming out with new editions every year and many profs just made the new edition the required one regardless of any substantial differences)

Clicking the unfilled heart (to subscribe) results in the error presented in the attached screenshot.

Repeating the steps, but instead of the unfilled heart, clicking on the community successfully navigates to the community.

This didn't happen before.

I might be one update behind current as of Mar 18

But in tech, there's often a lot of overlap in the high-end and crap...at least in terms of issues.
Expensive, high-end products can sometimes just be frustrating, or just lacking features that'd seem obvious.
