Yeah, it should be listed as purchasing anymore, since you dont own it

You are buying a temporary revokable license to play the game.

Or -- hear me out -- the distributors should be criminally prosecuted for fraud and theft for having represented it as a sale and then reneging on it/stealing it back from the buyers.

It should be a sale and should remain a sale. But the terms need to be enforced.

My more favorite way would be making regulation around garbage drm like Denuvo. Scumbag Studios shouldn't get to install trash spyware just to punish legit buyers.
