You can buy drm free games to download and keep forever on gog.com, and music on bandcamp.com and qobuz.com
Btw if you buy a physical copy through bandcamp, you get digital download and streaming included

If they revoke my license, then I'll just pirate it.

If it's worth $n to access something, then the damages for revoking it should also be $n.

Yes, a large chunk of that doesn’t make it to the creators.
It’s still better than ad revenue by a large margin.
