Having to click, once, between different stores if you really care about a game is not some convoluted process.

And analogies to streaming services don’t hold up for a few reasons:

1. There’s no ongoing cost to have an account at the each, purchases are one time.

2. Games do not leave services the way shows leave streaming sites.

This already isn’t accurate, and it’s getting less so all the time.

I guess I’d like to see some examples of games being pulled from stores and also from the libraries of paid customers.
