In capitalism, consumer ownership is being abolished more and more each day, with planned obsolescence in all kinds of products to encourage consumerism and with digital items bought at full price where the company decides when they expire by shutting down servers. People no longer buy products, but pay to use them; everything is rented, nothing is truly yours; you buy virtual items that don't exist in digital worlds that aren't real—everything in their hands and nothing in yours... as Klaus Schwab said, in capitalism you will own nothing and they will still manage to make you happy with it.

"In the future, platforms will be created where services will be sold, people will no longer own things," Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum.
Sony's PlayStation video game company announced today that it will stop making physical products and will only offer "digital" games, ensuring that its customers will never again have real ownership of what they buy.
