The murder of ownership happened years ago for PC users since 90% of all PC games are sold on Steam. Unfortunately, prices did not adjust when the publishers started seeing the big savings of not needing a logistics and distribution channel.
PC games didn't keep pace with inflation, at least. They lagged behind the rate of inflation.
I am no fan of Rockstar games, but their $80 +$20 for essential "DLC" equates to what prices should be if PC games had kept pace with inflation: $100.00.
The death knell of physical stores.
Murder for convenience.
Way of the future?
