They’ve never taken a game back. Everyone is causing a fear that doesn’t exist. I only buy digital, never had a problem.
Microtransactions, ads, no offline modes, you don’t own your own games any more… well they topped all of it with the new console. You buy games that are just empty boxes. Might be a slip of paper in there letting you rent it for $80 flat fee, but they’ll take that game back any time they damn well please.
NOW BEG FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT PEASANT.

This is either a blatant lie or unfathomable ignorance.
Ubisoft has done just that and so have several others. It the entire reason for the stop killing games movement.
Theres no way you are a “gamer” and have never heard of it.

Did we forget Nintendo shut down their entire store just to open a new one?

What’s to stop people from remaking the game and discontinuing support for the original? That happens in Apple’s App Store.

Sony has done it this year playstationlifestyle.net/…/purchased-studio-canal…
I guess technically it’s movies and TV in this case, not games. But the precedent is there.

I find it weird tho, Xbox literally started ‘cloud’ gaming a few years ago and now there’s games that can’t be played on consoles. You need a subscription to cloud game instead of just using your console to run the game
