Yeah it is, you have no proof of the "rent only" future you are doomsaying about. Movies used to be mostly rented out, yet this hasn't led to the "rent only" situation, quite the opposite.

WAT? Is there some sort of massive increase in people buying blu-rays or something that I'm unaware of?

This has LITERALLY become our reality with movies. It's not something far off in the future, it IS TODAY. Nobody buys movies or songs anymore, they have to pay for a SERVICE to listen to music, tv shows, and movies...

No, it isn't, you have no proof of the "no rent only" future you're so sure is waiting for us.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof - you are the one claiming the "rent only" future is comming and that people should "just buy the game" instead of going for gamepass. I don't have to debunk your insane claims, the burden of proof is on you.

2 of us have literally provided the proof. Yet you're still here screaming "Slippery slope fallacy!"...

Yet we've shown you existing markets which are already there. We've already provided the proof.

You haven't provided proof. You just repeated your claims and expected people to react differently this time. I'll just stop replying to this thread if you don't mind. I dislike arguing with people who don't have anything sensible to say.
