Every time this happens I am reminded of old antipiracy arguments. i.e buy dont pirate. Then it was "you dont own it, you license it" and now that license isnt yours either. They can just take it away whenever they want and get your money too. If the tables were turned and you could just take 100% of your money back at any point in the future but still keep a game, theyd lose their shit but its fine as long as it is the gamer that loses.
Really, fuck everyone who pushed that circular argument.
I unambiguously bought Skyrim. Cash money, physical item. Bought a music CD and a paperback book at the same time. I own them all equally. How could I not? No slip of paper inside the book can say I only licensed it, via a contract I didn't see, through the mechanism of anonymously buying a mass-produced object. Ditto the CD. Ditto any DVD I could've bought, when you know the movie industry still wants a dollar every time you play it with company over. Somehow - magically! - software is impossible to buy or sell, because abracafuckyou, it says nuh-uh.
