  But what if you already bought a console? It shouldn’t be held hostage by Sony selling games at 100$ in the future. A PC without Steam is still a PC.

    This is a feature they’re rolling out, specifically with an eye towards the PS6. As far as I’m aware, that console hasn’t even been released yet.

    If Sony is retailing games for $100 on their new console, that would strongly dissuade me from buying the console.

      PS2 was a cheap DVD player, PS3 was a cheap Blu-Ray player, but your point stands.

        And the OG Playstation was a cheap CD player. There’s still a cult following for the “audiophile” variant.

      When the PS2 released, it was a cheaper blueray player than the current iteration of retail blueray players. People would buy the console just to watch movies.

      Tbh, I think Valve needs to design an addon for the Steam Machine that’s a blu-ray player that hooks onto the side or bottom, and add support for running blu-rays from Game Mode. It wouldn’t require any extra ram or storage, so it wouldn’t fluctuate in price but add value

        Even less people care about blu-ray movies than care about physical games.

        Congratulations, you just invented Sega CD.
