    Since the installers are DRM free, they physically cannot. Save for breaking into your home and destroying your hard drives.

      I’m talking about the content on the store. If you don’t download it, then they can remove it and it’ll be gone, regardless of if you purchased it already. That said, they can still do some shady shit with content you physically have too. Sony once put a root kit on their CDs that would brick people’s computers if they tried to rip them to the hard drive.

        Yes, if you don’t take possession of the goods you paid for, you are in fact not in possession of the goods you paid for.

        Ok. In theory they could have put in a kill switch. I’m choosing to trust they didn’t.
