The game has been released, and the Steam store promptly shit itself. Took me 10 minutes to buy the game, the download speed is normal though (2GB download).

Legally, it's exactly the same. You don't own anything.

As I said: Yes.

But legally it's not much different with physical media of games or music as well. You don't own it. Just a copy you are allowed to use in some ways (but not others).

But besides that in reality there is a big difference, if you are still able to play it or not, if the servers are shut down.
