- loss of ownership (look at digital purchases removed without refund)

- depends on online connectivity to use something you paid for

- forced version upgrades/general drop in software quality/reliability (enjoy those constant regression to justify that service contract)

- used to be a one-off purchase to purchase physical software, now you have the benefit of a recurring subscription to own nothing.

- loss of resale value. you can sell your old used games/software - or even sell the activation keys (after use).
