You do not own your digital games, you own a license that gives you the right to play the game on the platform the licences is purchased for until revoked. I don't understand why so many people are surprised by this because this has always been the case with Digital as it requires an online connection on the users end and a server on the hosts end. It's expected that losing your games would not be common when it was new and trendy, but now that it has been standard and normalized for over a decade the consequences have become more noticeable as expected. Unfortunately many people hopped on the bandwagon and preferred the conveniences of digital without really weighing in the cons of it. On the flip side it is very interesting to see these law-suits and legal actions take place despite people not reading the ToS, which were designed and written to confuse people anyways. Digital product are technically just rentals without a return date.
