  Totally worth not owning my library and having it taken away at will and remaining on a closed ecosystem.

  I’m assuming you’ll go buy some more fifa slot rolls eh?

    You think you own your steam games? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I’m assuming you’ll go buy some more TF2 hats or loot crates in CS eh?

      There are a surprising amount of DRM free games on steam, is valve perfect? Fuck no, at the end of the day they are a company that only want money, and as much as they made my favorite games from my childhood, they did have a gigantic hand in normalizing loot crates. But with that list in combination with my GOG library, if I back up the install files I’m golden.

        You can back up your Xbox game files too. PlayStation as well I’m pretty sure.

      I never said I did Sony fanboy.

      However, there are DRM free games on steam, which you will own forever so long as you have the installer.

      Same for GOG games.

      And steam keeps the download files available even when a game is pulled from the storefront. I can still download games in my library that can’t be purchased anymore.

      Stop trying to push a narrative you cuck, I’m talking about more than just Steam, but Steam alone is still a better value than Sony. And Sony raising their prices and removing content from users libraries just makes it all the more worth it.

      Cope more.

        Sony fanboy? 🤣 I think Sony are a terrible company, and PlayStation is anti-consumer with terrible hardware and games. I’m a pc and Xbox player.

        Both PlayStation and Xbox allow you to download games that have been delisted if you own them. Have since forever. You should do a bit more research before you speak.
