I mean, if I buy a game on steam and valve goes belly up, how do I retain my games? Game companies were all too eager to stop selling physical discs for PC games and instead give you a code for you to redeem. And you can’t sell it after you play it like with console games, because it goes against most PC game companies’ terms of service.
If you buy a security camera that is only available through the cloud and the company stops paying for the cloud service, all you have is a paper weight

Digital and cloud-dependent are not the same thing
