That’s just not true. Inform yourself to save future embarrassment.
You are confusing licensing and terms of service.
This is very true. If Amazon shuts down tomorrow, you’ve forever lost that license to what ever software you rented.
You have no way of ever getting that license back, legally. You will have to rent said software somewhere else, even though the nomenclature on the website and everywhere else said “You bought this”
Which is far more patently false than what you’re saying.
It’s not. You’re just talking absolute nonsense and I’ll not spend anymore time talking to you ignorant naysayers.

So do tell me, Amazon folds tomorrow, how do you regain access to the video game or software you bought? It has drm btw
I think you're both on the same side and find that there aren't enough protections for consumers and that the existing ones are being ignored. You @Zoot and @imecth are describing how things are currently working out in reality despite the laws, @MagnificentSteiner is describing how things are legally despite their disregard.
We can probably all agree that we need to enforce the existing laws and expand them.

Do you really own your game if it can be unilaterally taken away from you ? Copyright law is fucked and the software industry is happy with the status quo - no owning a license that's behind dozens of pages of TOS is not owning a game.
