Not a specific example, but it infuriates me more than anything when people say it doesn't matter that hardware, software and media are becoming increasingly dependent on an internet connection to operate.
People lack the foresight to care that the things they are paying for right now, wont last like similar things do from 10-20+ years ago.
Your old dvds, vhs, cds, vinyls, game consoles, tvs telephones.
The current implementations of these mediums have taken ownership away from the consumer, and nobody cares.
I anticipate a massive loss of historically pertinent hardware and information that will result in the new norm of paying for limited access to anything and everything.
Maximum consumption and profit, minimal preservation and environmental efficiency.
Nobody cares, like we are all slowly boiling frogs.

I buy the games that deserve it, when i can afford it.
Over 900 games on steam, not garbage either.
Piracy has its place, but voting with the wallet is important too.

pay people who dont nickle and dime you and actually deserve it, its already a great start.
