How do you figure that? I can go dump my N64 cartridge and play it on my PC. I can pass on my DVDs and vinyls until their materials degrade.

Because that is what the law and those licenses on the box say (the EULA if you remember the times when physical software came with a "read before opening" license agreements).

There was no licensing with any physical media I bought. It had the FBI thing and a piracy thing but my country isnt obligated to enforce that. They were legitimately sold in my country with no mention of a license.

Only recently, like ps4 times have I had to tck a box when playing a game.
