I know this is all far fetched, but so is the getting booted from Steam example.
I would say the only difference is in the contract/agreement. Steam agreements clearly states, they have the right to close your account and you are only renting games.

Unless there is a law, I am unaware of, OOTP/Marcus has no legal right, to ever yank my ability, to play a game, that I purchased from them.

Being a retired a CPA, I would never agree to lease an asset, that I can just buy outright. (Take out all tax issues and Liability issues for the purpose of this discussion).

But, I do understand the point you are trying to make.
Thank you.
