This is a problem with a lot of digital content these days. You don't own anything, it's all leased from the company and can be taken away at any time. It's worse for video games where everything is now online even for single player games.

It's slowly extending to tangible things too. Based on the trends, it may end up that you'll no longer own a house, car, bike, tools, clothes, or anything else, but just rent them. Anything you use won't be as a product, but as a service.

I would like products to come back to me as the original designer and manufacturer, and once you get your head around that notion, why would I actually sell you the product if you are primarily interested in the benefit of the product? Maybe I can stay the owner of the product and just sell you the benefit as a service. – Philips Electronics CEO, Frans Van Houten, 2016

You will own nothing, and be happy.
