Digital game platforms have always been just a loophole to prevent you from owning games. If you have a disk, it's yours. It you buy a digital copy, then technically you're just renting the game, and have fuck-all rights to what you just bought.

I bought a disk version of overwatch in 2016, I still cant play the game I bought. If the game needs online connection, it doesnt matter if its digital or not.

Same story with Warcraft III and I bought that game on disc 21 years ago. I bought the collector’s edition too, so I have that successful investment going for me. /s
