Why do people hate digital games so much?

Dude...calm down for one. You being vulgar and rude isn't helping your case.

Second, I have been purchasing digital content on places like Steam and iTunes since they were released. I purchased games for my friends on Steam in 2004 that are still there.

Third, yes, things get hacked. People generally don't lose content due to hacks. Link me one instance where a person's account gets all its games removed due to a company being hacked. Credit card info? Sure. email addresses? Yeah. Most hackers don't care about what games are linked to an account, and even if they did, it would be easy to recover the content.

I'm perfectly calm and I assure you I am not being rude or vulger, I am being honest there is a distinction. What's rude is lying to my face and treating me like I'm an idiot. 2004 is not "over a decade" it is just under a decade. Thanks for finally being honest and proving me right. http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Support/ct-p/10023 check around 2011 and early 2012. Lots of instances. http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_support/default.aspx Check around 2009-2010 I believe that's when the peak was it happened a lot. https://support.steampowered.com/ check any time steam accounts get hijacked all the time. Yeah it would be possible to recover, that is if the data isnn't lost forever like it was with ME DLC and it would require a lot of hassle. Something you wilfully ignore is the fact is that we have consumer rights that protect us from having to deal with that hassle and trouble. Rights that are lost with digital only. 

January 2004 is over a decade. Febraury 2004 is over a decade. March 2004 is over a decade. April 2004 is over a decade. May 2004 is over a decade.

Grow up.

If a person steals an account, how are your rights being violated, exactly? A person can just as easily, if not more easily, swipe some games or rob your house if they wished. Would you cry about your rights being violated and blame the company that made the games then, or would you blame the robber?

If you have a strong password and aren't an idiot, your account is perfectly safe with most of everything encrypted these days. If a mass-scale breach does happen (and they do, don't get me wrong), it is very unlikely that your games go missing from your digital library, as the company would find out and take steps against it in cases of massive hacks. In individual cases where it may be a problem, you just have to make sure you have a good password, just like how you would make sure you lock your door at night.

No one is taking your rights, you are way over-reacting. According to the EULA, you don't own the game anyway, just the disc that the game is on. Are your rights being violated there? Just like that, I don't own my digital copy, just the hard disk that the game is on. I also have the game linked to an account so I can make copies on another system is I so wish. I won't lose any downloaded games I have downloaded until I delete them, just like how you won't lose any physical media until you get rid of it.

You said over a decade and guess what you probably didn't start in any of those months, even if ya did you said over a decade which means it's still a lie, it doesn't matter if it's 10.99% its still at most one decade and not over untill 2015. It also doesn't change the fact that you lied about never having any network problems in that time. Now you are acting like a child, and you want to tell me to grow up? Your rights are violated because you no longer have the power to protect your own property. You also have the right to resell any property you purchase. What about that do you not understand? You have the right to protect your property anyway you see fit. They take that right away by denying you the ability to take that property. Instead they take it and put where ever they want and force you to trust that they will protect it and they take away your right to sell it and make a profit off it if you choose.

Just stop dude seriously you know you are so in the wrong here and you are expressing so much blind ignorance that at this point it comes off as intentional and pure trolling. People on XBL had strong passwords but due to an exploit their passwords were completely bypassed. Sony had encription and people had strong passwords it didn't stop people from hacking into the network. You have to be smarter than this, seriously.
