Among console video game players, many believe that buying physical games is the right move because buyers will receive physical products. Compared to digital games that may disappear when the online service is discontinued. Last year, Steam stated that users do not own purchased games and recently the e-commerce site Amazon has done the same.
For digital products such as electronic books, movies and so on, the Amazon site now states that buyers only buy a license to access the purchased content – not own the product. This is closely related to the bill in California that requires platforms to inform customers in more detail about products purchased digitally. With this, if a digital product is withdrawn from Amazon, customers cannot complain if they lose access to it one day.
