I can't tell if you're trying to make a point or if you're completing missing the issue here.
The difference between then and now is that before, when you paid for a game, you were able to play that game as long as you wanted and no store or company could take that away from you. With digital distribution in its current form, the user can pay good money for games and have them yanked away at any time if the distributor or developer sees fit. That is the practical issue that people care about when it comes to this subject.
