That ship sailed and was sunk many years ago. I'll educate my kid to play real games from decades ago, and if he really wants to rent games he can work his ass off to buy them.
Same reason I prefer GoG over Steam -- at least I can download the installers and store them, and there is no string attached.

Mostly. GoG sells games with DRM now and they don't tell players about it in advance either. Not only are there many multiplayer games with DRM on GoG but there are also single player games. For one example see https://www.gog.com/en/game/cult_of_the_lamb
I have no idea why they allowed that, maybe it happened when they changed owners, but I hope it doesn't keep spreading.
Ah that was said. At least I only purchase classic games.
