Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.
Announcing that you’re no longer producing physical games at the same time as announcing that you’re shutting down a digital storefront is quite the choice
Internet down? Fuck you
Server issues? Fuck you
Finished a game and want to sell or trade it in? Fuck you
You will own nothing
We will keep raising game prices
We will raise PS Plus prices
PlayStation - Play Has Limits, and fuck you.

The difference with PC is that you can have a digital game, but you can do mods, you break it down, you can do whatever with it, y'all can fix things you don't like...

With GOG, if you own a game, you can download an offline installer.
You can copy this to an external drive, and whenever you want, whilst offline, you can reinstall and play that game.
You own it, it yours, no DRM.
This is ownership and whilst I mostly use Steam, I have recently started purchasing my absolute fave games on GOG.

PS going all‑digital isn’t just “convenience.”
Closed ecosystem=no competition, dynamic pricing, no real deals.
Digital licenses can vanish - your library gone. No preservation.
PC went digital but has open eco, multiple stores, discounts, preservation (GOG or unofficial source)
