this makes me think of Classic Doctor Who lost episodes. see, in the 1960s it was perfectly possible to archive fiction shows even if nobody thought there would be home video one day. most Hollywood studios did it, at least for re-runs.
but the BBC didn't archive fiction shows not because it was too expensive, but only because unions prohibited re-runs, as they considered those would deprive them of new work.
so if you let this kind of devs and studios push their logic to the end, they woud give all games (and even streaming movies/shows) a kill switch that would revoke your license after you've played it once, or after a given time. just to force you to buy another game.
