For decades, gamers believed they truly owned their games. But in the digital era, the truth is far darker. From DRM to delistings, subscription models to server shutdowns, the gaming industry has slowly turned ownership into a license that can be revoked at any time. This is the untold story of how publishers control the future of your library — and why it could disappear without warning.

Featuring real-world cases like Ubisoft delisting The Crew, the “Stop Killing Games” movement, and the legal fine print hidden in your favorite platforms, this video explores the business, legal, and economic forces behind gaming’s biggest lie.
