Really though, yeah, the abrupt nature of it really is strange... it definitely does help reinforce why physical media is better, though. Yes, with GOG games are DRM-free so if you kept a copy of the download file you can install it again, but many people wouldn't do that I'm sure, and many games on other services are not DRM free... yeah, discs are better. DRM or not at least something like this can't happen.
