It'd be a ridiculous expectation for society to keep.
I've been paying for Netflix - this month they probably took off 20~30 movies due to licenses ending.
You're gonna say, hold on, I haven't had a chance to watch all those yet.
Or if I paid for the costco membership for a year and then they take some product off the shelf and I say - hold on I haven't had the opportunity to purchase that yet.
Items from Costco don't work that way because there are a physical item. It has to be produced, can potentially spoil, and can take up a lot of space. Movies on Netflix get removed because of licenses, not because they can't be copied and stored trivially. If you can't see the difference between these then I think we'll have a hard time coming to an agreement here.
Also: it is entirely reasonable if I decided to cancel a Costco membership if they stopped carrying items I want. The same goes for Netflix, but they have less of an excuse from this perspective because as a consumer I don't care about licensing. At all.
yes, but we’re talking about video gamers who aren’t ruled by logic or reason. they’ll endlessly bitch about this and then rush to preorder the next thing.

Nothing in our society works this way
