A key and important aspect of digital ownership is what happens to those assets when you die. My father was a huge audiophile. Had he existed in this time period perhaps much or all his music would have been purchased digitally and not on vinyl. What would have happened to said assets when he died? If its like other digital sellers, even accessing them with his passwords would be illegal under current user agreements. This is indeed about property rights. This goes for all the photos shared online as well, not just video games.

@desaranfenrir9295 Thats the issue, its not my log in information, it would have been my fathers. And if you read most of the typical digit user forms the information is non transferable. So again, you dont really own it. Which is my point.

@minatokirijio9059 Well there isnt only the media on which the game is transferred on. There is the packaging as well. I dont know how old you are either but most games use to come with massive books. Star Craft came with a lore book of something like 90 pages long. Same with War Craft. And then there is transportation costs and storage costs. The amount might actually be significant. 5 to 10 bucks a copy maybe in some cases. Which is why they said they wanted to shift to digital media in the first place. But maybe thats what caused game prices to stay around the 60 dollar mark for such a long time.
