More folks need to realize that their best bet (if they want to play games) is to buy them through DRM-free services like GOG, and not Xbox Game Pass or whatever flavor of subscription there is.

You're right in that once you get banned (for any arbitrary reason), there is no recourse. You can't get your library back.

So what can folks do?

- Buy MP3s that are DRM free.

- Buy physical copies of movies on DVD/BluRay instead of paying for streaming.

- Buy games on GOG, or physical copies that do not depend on "launchers".

- Buy software that is not subscription-based (Affinity is fantastic if you want to replace Adobe, for example) and you can buy for a one-time fee.
