"Stealing, theft, is predicated on taking something from someone so they no longer have it."

So if I purchase a product and then its taken away due to service closure or 'updated' to be so different as to no longer be recognisable that would be theft surely.

What you pay for through platforms is a limited usage license. Get a physical copy or just buy DRM free games if you want to own them

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

Physical copies are still just purchasing a limited usage license purchase.

Technically, even purchasing DRM free games are again just a limited usage license.

Sure, but at least a physical copy you can resell and no one can keep you from playing and same for that last part with the DRM free version and it seems to be the issue people are having right now and that led to this discussion.
