Or buying a physical book where they printed it with ink that fades after 2 years so it is no longer readable.

Fun fact a company did this with DVDs back in the day, once you broke the seal on it the air would react with a coating on the disk which would become increasingly dark until it became unreadable.

But you are not buying a game, you are renting it.
I absolutely agree that companies shouldn’t be able to say they’re selling you a game. They should make it 100% clear that you are renting it.
I’m also onboard with requiring p2p/LAN functionality for multiplayer.
