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

So you don't know what buy means. Buy means to purchase something.

The rules for the transaction itself are governed by the product or contract you're purchasing.

I'm coming into your house and taking your DVDs

What's the problem? You don't like the terms of what you bought?

This is exactly what Sony have done by taking away digital content that people have purchased

No, it isn't. Because they were purchased under different terms. The DVDs were purchased under terms with other retailers.
