Let's say the PS6 is a digital only console (pretty much guaranteed now) and 20yrs after it's release you wanna get a game for the PS6 but they've shut down the store just like they did for the PS3/Vita. What are you going to do?
You can't go to a gamestop, a pawn shop, a flea market, ebay or whatever. This is planned obsolescence in its' final form. PlayStation now has 100% control over how you buy and play a game.
Your boy wanna sell you a game for cheap? Can't do that, gotta buy full price on PSN. Wanna give your boy a game to check out? too bad, he's gotta buy it for $70 on PSN.
This is terrible for videogame preservation and consumer rights
@neth3rwing@Pirat_Nation They got so lucky with Fortnite that they donโt even have a clue what made it successful. What made Fortnite successful is that it once had its own recognisable identity.
@Pirat_Nation No games are filled with pay to win micro transactions and the games release unfinished. Games also get taken down after half a year. And players who bought the games are losing trust to the devs. Also games not having their own identity doesnโt get as many people immersed.
