$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

No you are mistaken with "Or $5 mire to own it". You own a license to watch for the amount of time the platforms decides to keep it up.

Then, when they remove it, they offer you a measly $5 gift card only redeemable on their platform.

On that last post where someone got a refund they gave a full refund as a gift card and an additional 5 euro gift card.

(Not saying it's an okay think to do, just in case you're referencing it.)

A gift card isn't a refund

It also doesn't change the false implication they would "own" the digital copy

And people will go 'you didn't buy it!' like it doesn't say "Buy" right fuckin' there.
