Technically, we are just paying for licenses to play games. That's part of the reason why I haven't switched to digital-only libraries. Developers are fully within their rights to completely drop servers, and even stopping consumers from downloading games they've already "purchased."

Terris was on the extreme end of this line of thinking, lambasting Valve and anyone that used Steam. I'm not that paranoid or critical of digital downloads, but it has been something I've thought a lot about.

Questions such as "do I want to spend $150 a year to play FFXIV, only to have nothing to show for it in a decade once the servers are gone?" are things I've been contemplating.
