The government simply doesn't understand technology. If someone said "I bought a book, but after 6 years the publisher came in and stole my copy and burned it" they can understand that. But a single player game, which is in many ways the same as a book, these old politicians just think "spoiled millennials just want free stuff handed to them. Stop playing games and grow up". No one would say that about a book.

I want to be able to enjoy my private, legally purchased, leisure activity without the risk that the publisher steals it from me through deceptive practices. Is that really too much to ask for?
