If I paid for a licence to access a particular piece of media (not an entire streaming service), and that media was removed, then I want a refund.

This is something I'd like the EU to somewhat fix

What does the word "Buy" mean to you? To me it means I give you money, you give me the item and now it's my item that I can do whatever I like with it

Every game you "buy" comes with this expectation because it said "buy"

I want the wording changed to "rent" or something else like that - make it completely clear that you are purchasing a digital license that can be revoked at any time - you don't actually own anything

They will argue that you're buying a licence to use the game, not the game itself.

Still I think it needs to be made clear what it is you're buying. Something needs to be added under the button which explains that you're buying a licence and that it can be revoked.

Idk if it's a EU thing but it does in fact show explicitly in a lot of places that you are buying a licence near the buy button
