How the heck are you just now realizing this? It's literally always been like that. Anything digital you "buy" has always been just a license. From music on iPods, Windows, and Office to Games. It's always been that way. Is it kind of annoying and dirty? Absolutely. But I don't understand how people are acting surprised about this.
