Thing about that is most money you pay for music regardless goes to the label not the artist. Money musicians make anymore is from touring and even then it’s difficult. As for games look at what Nintendo is doing. Even if you have the physical copy they still could lock you outve it.
my favorite artist is from a small record label so i don’t mind if they get paid too. also i do NOT support nintendo, i don’t plan on ever getting a switch 2 or anymore of their games after what they’re doing now. i prefer xbox and pc much more anyway (and a lot of times i buy my xbox games secondhand)
