     @danielsiepmann To an extent, it's already happening. For years, the Forza Motorsport games have only had a brief shelf life on digital storefronts because of music and car licensing expiring.

     This is more of a preservation issue, but I don't think we're too far from having a person's purchased digital game see its music or certain cars unceremoniously yanked from a working digital copy.

     It MIGHT already by happening, but I haven't researched it.

     @killyourfm Thanks for sharing. Never thought about licenses when arguing about not to buy digital versions. That is a new good and tough argument for such discussions.

     Waiting for the first games to disappear because some music within the game is no longer licensed, or whatsoever...
