It should be forbidden to even refer to it as buying (I think some places already have laws for that), and they should also be forced to put a big disclaimer every time stating the game might become unavailable at any moment if it has things like DRM or core online functions.
It’s been like this forever. You have a “license to play the game” same as the movies you buy are a license to play the content in a private setting
If a movie rescinds the license to play then you get your money back.
Like when Amazon pulled to license for people who purchased 1984.

They dont follow this policy anymore. The T&C clearly state that you dont own the digital media and are not entitled to access it.
