Exactly!

Plus, it's not really a matter of being able to withhold your money from a company, when you bought a game 20 years ago and don't want to see it disappear, or if you're trying to buy a game from 20 years ago that is no longer sold. People would literally throw money at companies if they just kept games available somehow. But "I won't buy the next game you release if you delete my digital purchases" isn't a viable method of protest. The money the company thinks they're "saving" by doing so far outweighs any losses from your non-purchases
