Netflix doesn't sell you movies, it sells you access to their services. If you look at their site now, it offers you to "create or restart your membership" to their "streaming services". If he purchased Netflix membership for a year and lost access before that year is up, I'm sure he'd be equally miffed.

Minecraft sells you the game - even right now, their site says "Get Minecraft" - in fact, it defaulted to Japanese for me where it says "MINECRAFTを購入" which is an even more unambiguous "BUY MINECRAFT".

It is like the difference between buying a e-book on Amazon and having it removed remotely, versus a book being removed from Kindle Unlimited. You have to be willfully obtuse to not understand why people might have different expectation for the two types of transactions, legalese in be damned.

The original poster said:

He does not believe in renting games, so I'm trying to find out of he rents movies or series. If yes, why the different approach?

Willfully obtuse... Oh please, some of you should try reading what I write and take the context into account instead.

you are a very annoying person, its really not hard to understand.

The guy doesn't like being ripped off. He rents what is marketed as rent-able, and wants what is marketed as something you buy to be actually so.

Its a very basic concept, there is no "different approach here".

There isn't anything wrong with not wanting to be ripped off.
