If you don't have a physical copy why would you claim to "own" it. I feel the same about stuff like games and steam.

From the post:

>A little known fact about movie and TV show “purchases” online: What’s being bought isn’t actually ownership of the title but rather a limited-time license for viewing access. Consider the $4.99 director’s cut of Alien on Amazon Prime Video. Cheap, right? But if the tech giant loses the rights to that version, the movie can be replaced with a different cut, like the one for theaters. And if Amazon loses the rights to the film altogether, it’ll completely disappear from the viewer’s library.

about time, their buy is not a buy another reason to never buy a mmorpg, still want to play this 20 years down the road with good hardware that runs it, nope we shut down the servers since not enough demand, also the server charge like amazon prime charge to access your own property you paid for.
