This statement was made by Ubisoft's director of subscriptions, Phillipe Tremblay, who recently spoke to Gamesindustry.biz about the digital future and Ubisoft Plus specifically. Tremblay states that people eventually "got comfortable" with not owning their CD or DVD collections, and that a similar shift in attitude "needs to happen" in gamers.

Those are board game I got to quit playing video games. Bonus points here...drumroll....I own all of them.
DRMs your board games
Sooo, over 10 years ago, somebody came up with the idea for a hybrid board game: Golem Arcana. It's a board game...that requires an app to play.
Of course, the app was proprietary, and it's no longer supported, so now the game is dead, because the app won't run on modern phones.
Let's not give them any ideas. My brother actually has a board game (can't remember the name) where in order to get the story/scenarios/etcetera for each playthrough/mission/whatever, you actually need the official board game app.
Which will lose updates soon
They did that in the LOTR Journeys in Middle-Earth game and in the new editions of Descent. The scenarios, spawns and enemy movement are all managed by the app, which is fine, but they don't have an alternative way to play without it, which is crappy. But I'm sure that if they stop support someone will reverse engineer it and make a ruleset to admin these things.
Shit. You're right. Fucking Werewords.
