It's not just possible. It's inevitable.

We allowed Gabe and others to kill physical ownership of games.

We need rights to actually own it, and nobody seems willing to grant us that. If I can't trade my license to somebody else, I don't own it. If I can't play it when the servers are gone, I don't own it.

Well, I can tell you if I lose access to my steam library I'm pirating every single one of my games onto my harddrive.

I'll wager that when that happens you'll no longer be able to actually buy 99% of those games anyway.
