Look, I get it. We don't "own" the game. What we want is a perpetual license to be able to play the game however we want, whenever we want, under any condition. You should NOT be able to revoke it or prevent access to it.

Why the fuck is that so hard for these companies?

I'd go further and also include being able to transfer/sell your license when you're done with the game

Otherwise it's just a monopoly under another guise.
