If you decide to buy into Sony’s future, make sure you do it with your eyes wide open.

Unlike Valve who has never taken away what people have bought without a refund (to my knowledge), Sony doesn’t deserve that benefit of the doubt:

Reminder that Valve's liberal refund policy only exists because they were sued by the Australian government.

And it isn't even all that liberal compared to physical stores.

I'm old enough to remember when people bemoaned the death of physical media, and saw Steam as the death of PC gaming.

Like all things, this too shall pass.

Yes. The new generation will grow up without ever owning any media, and will not be able to conceive of the idea of owning media.

I did it when OtherOS was removed. I have yet to miss any game I care about, and PCs have been a better investment overall.

I play Arknights on my iPad but that's the one live service game I have anything to do with.
