There's a lot of heritage in archived and emulated computer games from 80's and 90's. Further, I still have some games in their original boxes somewhere and being nostalgic enough to not have thrown them away I own my copies of those games in the true sense of the word. Same for music on compact discs. I have ripped most of them for myself but I still own the original copies in a closet. Now, 30 years from now or roughly 2050, there will be a cultural and historical blackout because anything people are "buying" now are basically revokable privileges to temporarily hire games, music, and movies. There will be no single server up and running to provide today's games for people who are today young but will be middle-aged few decades from now. And, even before that, judging based on Ubisoft it looks like the "purchases" will be long gone before the service itself. What a waste.
