    First they would need to outright ban practices where you rent your license for an unspecified time instead of owning it.

    Why?

    People were able to rent games in the past. What happened then that was so bad?

      i’m not sure if you understood my comment. The issue is that they sell you software for the full price, but there is a fine print on there somewhere that clearly states that they can remove your access at any time due to a variety of reasons. For example I have lost games due to Apple policies forced the dev to remove them from the app store and then I could not reinstall them anymore.
