      Even when Steam delists games, you still have access to it, even after twenty years.

      The content you bought? Sony removed your access after a few years.

      Oh yeah let’s just hate on every store front ever even if they haven’t really done something wrong!

      If we’re not going to reward good behaviour, what are we doing here?? Valve might as well go to shit and fuck everyone for a little more profit if everybody’s going to shit on them anyway just for existing.

      Yes they do, because they actually take the care to craft a genuinely awesome user experience. Unlike, I dont know, what seems like literally every other company nowadays

          No but you can share it with your family or friends for free via the sharing program, which is functionally like sharing the disc around

              Sont literally removed media from people’s account… The only time valve has done anything similar is when working with the FBI to remove malware from their store, and even then I don’t know if they removed the access to the game from users accounts.

      If Sony was selling a backlog going back to 1980 at deep discount with no monthly fees and DRM-free at the seller’s discretion, they would get less flak.

      Lol exactly! “The good billionaire”, hypocrites… I wish people were so determined to protest about healthcare and where their tax money goes… But mess with their pacifying reality escapism media and they’re all pumped… Not a single word about the environment and microplastics… I wish this was a psyop of some kind but I guess people are just really dumb.
