That's why you should buy physical disks. In the worst case you can re-sell them to someone else.

    Or buy games without DRM. Like on GOG.

    Also wait until development of the game is really done. That way the game is better and cheaper and works on cheaper hardware.

    If you want to own your games why don't you want to own the device you use to play them?

    That is a bullshit arguement. "You dont own the hardware so you dont deserve to own the games" - I do own the hardware... I can't update/upgrade it the same way I do my PC, but I still own it.

    If you read my message carefully you would see that I didn't say what you quoted.
