There’s nothing about owning physical media that would prevent that.

Or GTA getting patched to remove music from a game you already “own”.

As is tradition at this point, those that pirated the game get a better experience

Im not arguing that all digital ownership works great for consumers. But it can work. Shitty companies will always be shitty and it doesn’t matter how you possess the goods, you bought them from shitty companies.

As a general rule which applies to all products: if the company you are paying has to pay another company a license fee for your product to work, it’s not going to work for very long. Be it a Blu-ray Disc or a marvel skin, your vendor will stop paying their vendor as soon as they can.
