Digital games also have copyright, Microsoft reaffirms Xbox game ownership

Previously Ubisoft's first-person shooter, "island of 4", suddenly sold out of the Xbox digital game, which led some players to be unable to play, and some questioned whether Microsoft's DRM policy for the Xbox One digital version of the game meant that players would be unable to continue the game if the game was sold from the Microsoft now reiterates that even if the game is removed from the host, even if the game is deleted from the mainframe, the player can still download and play the games normally.

In fact, the ownership of digital games and related DRM policies in the gaming industry controversy is very large, different digital service platform for the relevant application of the next frame is also different. Steam's Terms of service "Steam Subscriber Agreement" stipulates that the player does not have title to the game and only has a subscription to the game, but the player can still download the games in the library after the game has been removed from the Steam store. But steam also removed the game from the player's game library when the "Command of War" (Order of Wars) multiplayer mode in Square Enix was unable to provide services.

At the same time, Microsoft's different platforms for the digital content has been down the way is also different: the Windows phone/windows application store after the application of the shelf means that if the user removed the application from the device, then can not download the application again.

Of course a game from the digital selling off the shelf is very rare situation, the general reason for this is that the publisher of the game has lost the issue of the relevant game or has lost the authorization of the relevant brand (which is true of the animated animation authorization game works), or the license date of the music used in the game has expired.

Qualification or loss of the license of the relevant brand (as is the case with animated anime authorization game works), or the license date of the music used in the game has expired.
