    Also, once they discontinue the launcher there’s a fat chance the game will not start at all, like it happened with some games tied to M$ Games for Windows live

      I paid 5€ for all three Mass Effects and another 5 for DA:Inquisition.

      How long am I considered to “own” that before I can let go for good because I got my money’s worth?

      I won’t ever play them a second time, so I gain nothing from games hogging my game library.

        Ever, because you fucking bought them? Same way if you buy a car, a house, a pacifier…

          Again, I got to play four AAA games for the price of a movie ticket. How many lifetimes do I have to “own” these games?

          I think I got my money’s worth out of the deal. Four big games for a tenner and people are still like "but you don’t really own them ". Yes, I know. It’s more like a very long rental.
