I'm just fed up with how digital media ownership is handled these days. Companies keep pushing these "pay for access" schemes, which just muddles the whole idea of ownership. I prefer physical media or DRM-free digital purchases because at least then I know I actually own what I paid for. Platforms like Steam are alright for games, but I'm wary of buying digital media due to the risk of losing access. Until companies sort out a universal license transfer system, I'll stick to physical media or DRM-free options. These corporate types need to earn back our trust before we start giving them our money again.
