I guess it's just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

So my Steam library, 500 plus games are worth shit. I actually knew this buying digital...still this practise should be very illegal.

How the heck are you just now realizing this? It's literally always been like that. Anything digital you "buy" has always been just a license. From music on iPods, Windows, and Office to Games. It's always been that way. Is it kind of annoying and dirty? Absolutely. But I don't understand how people are acting surprised about this.
