Electronic Arts cut off the country of Myanmar from the Origin game distribution platform, showcasing in a bit of a snide fashion how gamers do not own their video games but just rent them. So in this video, I'll talk about game ownership, some of the problems associated with it and how it affects all platforms inluding Steam, UPlay and that it is even affecting the consoles as digital distribution takes hold there.

Update: EA has said they are working to give access back to people who live in Myanmar. While a good move, the issue was just a stepping off point for me to talk about Game Ownership. It is the potential for loss of access that is important here.
