  Unfortunately Sony will look at this wording and say “we’ll be happy to charge you tenant fees aka a subscription”

  Bold of you to think you have rights, plebe! Now pay your subscription and pray I don’t alter the deal again!

    I don’t think that it’s the same because Steam and Epic aren’t the only store available to PC users. They haven’t decided that games aren’t available on disc and there are one or two options where you can purchase DRM free games.

    This is Sony, the owner of the platform and the only store available, that is making a decision that will result in players never being able to buy a DRM free game. Not only that but players will only be able to buy games from them unless they intend on allowing other stores onto the platform.

      This. Rumor has it that the next Xbox may also go discless, but I wouldn’t be as angry about that because the rumor also has it that the next Xbox will support installing other stores like Steam.

    No, because your PC isn’t a closed system.

    Steam and Epic run on open hardware where people can install it on devices they assembled themselves, and run it on different operating systems.

    Difference is open hardware versus an ecosystem that tries to lock down their hardware, prevent installation of unapproved programs, and prevents competing storefronts.

    Objectively to a large extent yes. There’s the family thingy where you can share games with a limited audience in steam but you can’t « re-key » a game to resell a key. That would be a wonderful feature…
