In countries like Australia &amp; blocs like the EU the “you buy a licence” argument has been legally dismantled &amp; in those places you do effectively have ownership rights of those games, something that’ll probably cause a very interesting lawsuit when a publisher eventually does start discontinuing large swathes of their old products,(reply>), That raises some questions.<br>If you bought something digitally, does the seller or publisher need to provide a way to download indefinitely?<br>What about games that are only MP? If support ends (think about Gamespy), you'll be left with a virutally unplayable game. Is this acceptable by law?<br>What if a company like Ubi goes bankrupt? Do they need to issue patches to remove DRM? Who exactly is liable if they don't? Are we entitled a (full) refund?<br>What are possible loop holes? Games as service? Shell companies? Offshore bank accounts?<br><br>If there is a good summary about all this, with little lawyer-speak, I'd be interested to see it.
