$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.
If you don’t get a physical piece of media that can be viewed offline indefinitely, you don’t own anything, you’re just renting. Services revoking even bought and paid for content is not unheard of, digital purchasing gives every streaming company the ability to do that.
It doesn't have to be physical

Would be rad if a service actually let you download a movie you purchased as an mkv file or something. Can't see it happening though
Yep companies love DRM!
They are legally entitled to do so, sure.
Doesn't make up for the false implication that you are "purchasing" the movie in any commonly understood meaning of the word. And if there was any alternative where you own a full res digital format, maybe the outrage could be said to be misplaced, but there isnt, and it's not.
