#21. Being pedantic even if you own the medium(cd, cartrige, floppy disk), you still don’t own the software. You just own the license to use it.
2. So you are pro-Spotify but anti-Steam? All the arguments you gave above against Steam apply to Spotify as well.
Sounds to me you are trying to justify your decision to pirate to yourself.

I have seen so many songs disappear from Spotify lately that I am considering to hoard music again. Gladly I have most of those that disappeared on my HDD anyways, since it's been mostly old songs, but yeah. Was kinda frustrating. Maybe it's the task for this winter to go through my spotify playlists and find out which music I do not own yet

On Spotify you pay a monthly fee and listen to as much music as you want, but on Steam you have to "buy" each game individually.

But the reasons still stand, despite the author's conclusion. I agree with all the downsides of streaming/renting software. That's what it should be called. Even when you buy a digital media that remains hosted on a cloud server, you never really own it. There should be a new word for it.

#7> They sell games for $60 and then add microtransactions, turning them into service games.
Just. Don't. Buy. This. Crap. There are other games which you can play.

Per first-sale doctrine, if a license was included with the original medium, then it's irrevocably transferrable to subsequent buyers, without manufacturer being able to sever it, no?
Which is why SaaS and "cloud features" did all they could to danced around and obscure this.

Update: The non crap you bought is now micro transaction crap. Bait and switch!
Have you considered alternative ideas now that benevolent capitalism and resposible consumer are falling apart?
