The part that is most concerning (at least, imo) about the PlayStation ordeal is that it will give Sony and publishers near-complete control over pricing. There are a lot (seriously, A LOT) of games that you can find secondhand that are *massively* cheaper than the same game on digital stores.

People who are saying this harms preservation are worried about the wrong thing. Preservation of digital-only games will continue the same way it has in the past with both physical and digital games (largely, by a word starting with P and related to skulls and crossbones).

I still have some preservation concerns, since there are cases of digital-only games being lost and not even the PS3 has had its full library archived, and preservation usually requires modding the consoles which who knows when/if that’ll happen But yeah as a normal user this monopoly is WAY WORSE
