You Don’t Own Your Digital Games — Licenses, Shutdowns & Consumer Rights | GZ Chop Shop
Digital ownership is a myth. When you buy a digital game, you’re buying a revocable license — not the game itself. And publishers know it.
In this episode, Gregory and Uly break down the digital game ownership crisis: from server shutdowns that wiped paid libraries, to Ubisoft’s landmark The Crew lawsuit, to the Stop Killing Games petition that forced the EU’s hand with 1.3 million signatures. They also tackle the physical vs digital debate, why game collecting is making a comeback, and whether Game Pass is a lifeline or a trap.
Topics covered: digital rights management (DRM) | server shutdowns | licensing vs ownership | California AB 2426 | Stop Killing Games EU petition | physical games vs digital games | game collecting | subscription models | consumer rights in gaming
