It's getting more and more to the point where you don't own the product you think you buy. Technically you buy for the medium but strictly speaking not for its content. Instead of paying for its content, you pay for a license to use that content. However, whereas in the past there were no check-ins regarding the license, it's getting to the point where you must check in at an online service and because you must do so, the service can control the way you use the license you paid for. To put it short: These days, you give control to your console maker of choice instead of keeping it yourself.
