Comment on Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  With steam I don’t lose my digital license purchases.

  I do with PlayStation.

  Discs used to be the way that couldn’t happen.

  Now they are taking that choice away, and have a proven track record of taking digital shit back.

  Unlike steam. And unlike they weren’t able to do on disc games.

  That is why people are pissed.

  That is also part of the reason more people use steam, because they make pro consumer choices just like that.

  It isn’t publishers and devs that want to take it away from you, or steam couldn’t do it. Its PlayStation’s greedy ass that does it.

  I made it so simple my child can understand every point I made so I’ll be really impressed if you don’t get it this time.

    I have never once in my life had the expectation that any digital entitlement I have purchased would be usable for the rest of my life.

    Not only would that be an insane, illogical, and entitled perspective to hold; but it is also directly contradicted by every TOS/EULA of every single streaming service I have ever signed up for, and the T&C of every single digital purchase I have ever completed.

    I am at a loss as to why you, or anyone else has ever had a different expectation.

    I have always expected to lose ALL OF MY DIGITAL ENTITLEMENTS AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE.

    Have you never actually read anything you’ve agreed to?

        Yes… Intentionally because you ignored my point and added nothing new…
