I'm pretty sure they can just loophole their way out of that problem. If they really want to, they can just change the definition of "digital purchase" so that they can just say it's an overglorified rental and force you to buy it again after 5-10 years. And by that point, the game might not be on sale at all... Everyone wants entertainment in general to go the way of Netflix, after all, so buying games might not be as good as subscriptions for their games, at which point they can add or substract games as they please, who is going to stop them? You didn't buy the game, it's not yours. And also, for most of games they wouldn't even need to be that crafty. Just imagine how many mp-only games are going to become obsolete on consoles once the servers are down, without the need of subterfuge. |
I remember when they patched out a feature on the PS3 (I think it was the ability to install linux) they got sued and it became a big problem, they then updated their terms in a following update stating that some features can be subject to change, still didn't help them though.
