As a tehcnical point: all you are paying for is a license to use software and the physical media that it may have been delivered on/with. When you buy a game you are not buying a game. You are buying access to someone elses game. You aren't even buying the bits that are stored on the disk itself. They are more of a carrier medium. It's the same with purchasing music/movies and is why you can legally make unlimited digital copies of music/movies as you want so long as they are backups of the media for use by you.

Games have always been purchased as services, it's only in games where validation is required to play that this becomes an issue for folks, though.
