  • Don’t forget the part where those physical games mean nothing. Requiring day 1 patches. Meaning, the day those sony servers die, the day after if you’ve never played that game before? The disc does nothing. It just points to a download, on server, which in this scenario is offline.

    Meanwhile, you can still play a ps2 game, on ps2 hardware, and always will be able to. Hell sony could cease to exist, and you can still play GTA Vice City on PS2 50 years from now.

    I know PS3s online services have gone offline, but I wonder if this trend of “here’s a disc, it requires a download” started on the ps3, or the ps4.

    I wonder if I could still buy a disc, and play the game tomorrow.
