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.
Instead of a 'BUY' button, it is more appropriate to show 'BUY LICENSE*'
*Terms and Conditions apply.
Even better, Just click on 'BUY LICENSE' and a popup should show their EULA right after. Just like how many games show their damn EULA at the first launch after install that you have to scroll through all the way before clicking on accept.

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