People have said exactly the same thing about:

1) software as a service

2) streaming music

3) streaming video

4) digital games

There just isn't enough people caring about physically owning something these days.

People (mostly) already don't physically own games on PC. Steam can in theory shut right down and most people's games would just be gone.

the games would be patched to ignore the steam check, or the steam API emulated to bypass it entirely

and since most games use the same steam stub this would be a pretty easy thing to do
