If you can’t own it it’s not stealing.
Btw I hate that physical ownership is seen as an exclusive place for consumer rights. Companies saw a gap in collective knowledge and law and drove the wedge as far as they could.
The problem is with DRM owning a physical copy of a recent game doesn’t mean squat. It also wasn’t a gap for older generations since CDs were a terrible medium to store and verify games since they scratch easy.
