I've been a PlayStation guy since 1998. Looks like the PS5 is my last PlayStation console.

Steam being all digital is fine because I'm buying games for 75-90% off.. If I got told I was losing access to a game I played $2.50 for 6 years ago and played for 40 hours I would.. actually I'd still be annoyed but less annoyed than losing huggers of dollars.

Steam lets you play games that you bought, even if they've been delisted in the meantime.

Steam is the good guy (for now). GOG is even better though, since they let you save offline installers with no DRM.

Yep, Love GOG

So don't buy a fucking Playstation.

This isn't that hard to sort out.

I already have one because they were the best platform when it came to actually owning your games.

At least you can jailbreak a PS3 and add back the Other OS feature.

So, having a PC is better again, because there is not subscription for online services there...?

Cool. If thats the case I will no longer be offering Playstation my money for games.

Play station will no longer be offering games- Yup still no games
