Yeah, those are the only ones I see that I’d be able to justify with your requirements. (and two of them are ones you mentioned)
For cases with a solid metal or acrylic side panel, you can always just make space for fans on them.
At least it’s digital rights control now instead of your rights depending on a fragile piece of plastic and aluminum.
What good is legally owning a game if I lose access to it just because it physically broke? I’d still have to buy it again (or pirate it) if anything happened to the disk, so IMO, it’s a wash.
We give up legal rights in exchange for extra short term safety and convenience. And if Steam or the developer ever takes it away from me, I can always just go pirate it to get it back.
