Nice. But still. This will end in the next 1-2yrs I assume, as one is urged to upgrade to the ps5?

Then why ask if all games will run offline forever? You clearly don’t care if your games will run offline forever if you think that the next console has any bearing on the matter.
You must be young. I still have my PlayStation 2 from when I was a kid. Works with every game I ever got for it. Same for n64, game boy, etc.

Ps2 is truly a beast. I have a ton of ps1 and ps2 games I still play from time to time

Ooo, you just reminded me I’m in the middle of xenogears on my phone (duckstation ftw also whew caught that typo) Love that game. Might as well start over.

My first and only console was an Atari 2600 with pong being the first ever played game. Guess the youngster is you 😉 Since then I was PC only. I like the option to own everything forever (pirated if no other means available) and archive it forever. Legally this option died 2 decades ago thanks to steam. So I just wondered why the big consoles still allow this.
Run forever is nice, but it also ends with the end of your ps4 then. So “forever” is kinda bound to that life. My Atari cartridges are still here and might even still work, but no consoles left and why would I even after 4 decades.

Huh? I don’t think Steam wrote any laws about this, or even lobbied for them.

Dude I have a working 2600. I think. It worked 5 years ago but I don’t have a good two bolt connector to hdmi convertor
