Video Games PlayStation told Xbox to hold its beer...

Even a lot of physical ones require downloads these days to play. It is so stupid.
I haven't had any issues, I must not be playing the games that are online only.
I despise online only games anyway
Yeah, they force you to login to do updates. Some make you be online just to play even if they aren't online games.
I am keeping an eye on the Steam Machine. At least I know my digital downloads are better protected with them.
On the one hand, that's a gigantic pain in the butt... on the other hand, I get why they do it. It'd probably be more sane to have a check every 90 days rather than 30 though.
I have gone years without touching games on Steam. If they suddenly said I didn't own them anymore, I would be mad. A lot could happen in 30 days. People have jobs, family, kids, etc. it just seems selfish to me.
It's very selfish.
This part of the you will own nothing. So why buy games if that's the case
They want to push a society of renters. They say we will own nothing and be happy but they are banking on the kids growing up in a rental society. No one would be happy with that crap having grown up without it. I think this is why so many people that play games who are older are fed up with microtransactions and other BS in games and younger ones don't care. They grew up with it.
Me 2. We could try games to decide if we wanted to own it. I miss renting movies on the weekendsI miss blockbuster
But Blockbuster didn't charge folks the same amount as owning it
Sick me didn't actually read the "license will be revoked" part.
But that said, has this actually been confirmed with an official Sony source? I would be inclined to think the "valid period" is more the grace period before it's required to check back online against the account, no?
Like, I literally have gone months without my PS5 being turned on. I can't imagine Sony revoking my digital ownership over that (especially since they were really pushing the non-disc version of the console to begin with).
Not sure. I just saw it being something people were discussing and getting mad about. Time will tell. I am sure with all the backlash, they will (or at least should) reverse this decision if it is legit.
They crazy to stay the course. It won't be us that won't own anything, it will be the companies going bankrupt.
They forget people are having fewer kids. The biggest market are 30 to 55 year olds and that age range has a high percentage of people that appose this stuff.
