You Don_t Own Your Games. Amazon Finally PROVED It

from CurioVerse · host Panda Fury

Amazon Luna just proved the “Buy” button may not mean ownership. Games people paid full price for are disappearing, cloud saves are being deleted, and Amazon is arguing in court that digital purchases were always just temporary licenses.After shutting down game purchases on Luna, Amazon is removing access to large parts of user libraries while offering no refunds. For many players, hundreds of hours of progress and dozens of purchased games are now on borrowed time.But this goes far beyond Luna.The same pattern is spreading across gaming, movies, streaming, Kindle books, and digital media. Companies increasingly want users locked inside subscription ecosystems where nothing is truly owned and everything depends on servers, licensing deals, and terms of service most people never read.Now lawsuits, California’s digital ownership law, and the massive Stop Killing Games movement are pushing back against a trillion-dollar system built around revocable ownership.Because if companies can legally delete products after you “buy” them, then digital ownership may never have existed at all.
