      Exactly. It should say “lease” instead of “buy” or just “price” .

      They know that too but you know why they don’t use “lease”? They would have WAY less sales. Almost no one would click that.

      So they use “buy”/“price” to make you think you own it, and then think they are clever when they define it as “buying a licence” in the Terms.

      That’s plain and sneaky so I don’t feel sorry for them when people pirate stuff.

      I wish every dev had the option of “go to my website and buy this from me with an eternal licence included” as well as the option to lease it from the Play Store.

      Same goes for music and movies.

        I wish the terms and conditions had reading times at the top of them, and I also wish there was a law saying something to the effect of “buying a movie shouldn’t require you to read 35 minutes of ALL CAPS TERMS AND CONDITIONS while holding a dictionary and a thesaurus after gaining a legal degree”
