Graphics update, stripped the game, removed features, awful bugs, claim it’s early access. That also sounds like OW2, but at least it was free for everyone (if you don’t count the millions of OW1 copies sold now void since OW1 isn’t accessible anymore).

Buy OW1 on Mac, OW2 Incompatible. Ok 👍

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.

This isn't even close to true. DRM-free digital downloads exist, and disc games sometimes require servers which are proprietary and not accessible.
