    Hmm.

    Pretty sure you don’t own ANY games anymore, unless you fully pirate them. The physical discs aren’t big enough to have the full game and really contain the license to play, which is why downloads and updates are prevalent before you get to play on most systems.

    Is this correct or have I read incorrectly online?

    If I’m correct, then my point is really that if players let this stand then a company can do anything to any game you’ve “bought”.

      Depends. Some console games contain the entirety of the game. However oftentimes they still might require a system update to play, which won’t be available forever.

      So yeah, you don’t really own anything.

      Or if you buy them on GOG
