As mentioned, some of the “purchases” were actually includes for a physical purchase. Meaning “buy this physical copy, get the digital copy free!” So a physical copy isn’t actually that great.

Granted, a digital copy was going to inevitably become inaccessible one way or another. No company exists forever, for instance. But “oops we bought another company and merged their tech stack” isn’t an acceptable “end of service” point imho.
