Sure, they always argue that you are only "renting" them for a one-time-fee, and that the rent agreement could end at any time for any reason.

But them using the word "purchased" in this very announcement (not a mistranslation btw) gives weight to the argument that this is intentional deception of the customer. An even easier case in Germany, where courts acknowledge that customers don't read the terms of service, so any "surprising" terms hidden in the TOS aren't legally binding.
