You should read the EULAs you sign when you Buy digital media.

If it isn't on a physical device that someone can't take away, you don't own it, and even then you still have DRM in the way of you and the data you bought and paid for. That's why game consoles are being sold without disc trays, and why services like game pass are being pushed so hard. The writing has been on the wall for years, and ubisoft's director even said it out loud.

Emulation from backup file still requires somebody rip the game, and if you download that you're stuck in a legal gray area, even if you own a physical copy of the game. For some, that's a dealbreaker.

I don't care what EULAs or the law says.
