its not copyright claims.

It would be, however, if the holder of the expired license continued to distribute the content. Again, that's a gross oversimplification of the nuances of copyright law and the world of intellectual properties, and the two aren't practically comparable, but the underlying logic is the same.

helly thinks game companies can come and legally take back your physical games... don't pay attention to his thoughts on copyright

Oh, they legally can. It's in the EULA. Practically, it's never going to happen, but it would be legal for them to do so (or at least to render the game inoperative). At least, they could try, but in practice EULA's often don't hold up in court because everybody knows they're written to obfuscate what the end user is actually agreeing to and the end user doesn't get a chance to read them until after they've made the purchase. But it is in fact in there.
