Which is why a game streaming service makes sense.

But that’s all it is. A service. You don’t own anything about it. You pay a few bucks a month and get to play games without having the hassle of having a console or pc.

Cloud gaming makes sense and I’m not arguing against that. But not from an ownership perspective. Cloud gaming is gaming as a service in its purest form. A subscription system is perfect for that.

We have never owned any creative work, we are granted the rights to use a copy. It's always been this way.

Owning was never the important part, it's about being able to play/use/enjoy it.
