  Steam has the exact same setup, you don’t own anything there either. It is all perpetual limited licenses. The only difference is that Steam has so far kept up the illusion of ownership.

  This should be legally disallowed, “Buy” means ownership.

      Some times. Officially, all games on Steam include DRM and are supposed to run except if launched from the Steam launcher. Some developers do not bother getting that DRM working correctly.
