They just remove the right to access it. You don’t own it, you own a licence to play it. You don’t own anything digitally you yourself cannot access and transfer.

You don’t own the content on Netflix. Or Amazon. Or any digital marketplace, besides DRM-free places.

They don’t hack your computer, they just turn off the servers and ban accounts.

They can’t do that, it’s impossible. You are not logging into their server to play the game. You are downloaded and installing in on your local machine.

This is NOT like Netflix. How can people be so ignorant about this? Do you not really know how this works? For Netflix, you stream from their servers. That IS NOT what is happening here.

  Too bad they can, and they did.

  You’re very uneducated on this topic. You probably should read up more on it.
