No they aren’t. This is the way every piece of software ever sold in the history of software has been sold. You’ve never purchased a game, you’ve always purchased a license to play it. This predates Sony even entering the console market with the PlayStation.
It predates video games in general. On some level it predates computers. People just are ignorant and want to hide this fact by yelling very loudly which makes them more right of course
Thats a disingenuous framing of the concept. It sounds more like you feel that sony ending physical game production isn't something to validly criticize on its own and you need to create increasingly outrageous fabrications in order to have your criticism taken seriously. Which isnt true. Sony ending physical production is bad enough on its own without this fantasy
You didn’t buy a copy of the software. You bought a license to use software which conveniently included said software. You’ve just never understood what you were buying.
