Ownership really hasn ' t changed for a while now . Old SNES game manuals always had a term of use agreements . They clearly state that you buying the game is more of a rental to play it . So they could revoke your right to play the game at any time . Even though they never really enforced back then , it still is not a new concept . Just with today ' s software distribution it is easier to enforce . <| sep |> I am on notice period too . Things I did # 1 identify who will be taking you responsibilities . Copy them on all emails and introduce them to the people # 2 Document stuff which only you knew about . Troubleshooting , processes etc # 3 schedule lunches individually and thank your peers # 4 still participate in email chains and give suggestions and recommendations
