One thing I've noticed with other streaming media is that it keeps changing in often subtle ways that I just don't appreciate.
Albums will be replaced with remastered, "deluxe", or anniversary editions with different versions of the same songs.
Movies and TV shows will have different edits which aren't communicated. Songs from the soundtrack get replaced when digital rights expire. Jokes get censored[0].
None of this is communicated by the streaming platforms. You only notice it when you go to listen/watch to that media and realise it's not what you're familiar with. But you've already sold your CDs & DVDs so you have to take what you're given.
I'm sure this will start happening to games soon, if it hasn't already.
