I think in terms of the subscriber access to Xbox GamePass or PlayStation Plus, this is valid. But not for game purchases.

The store purchases have always been about buying a game. If I go to Amazon and buy a thing, it gets shipped to my house and I own it - the experience of adding an item to a cart, viewing the cart, and checking out are the same across game stores, for online and brick and mortar, whether digital and physical goods are being purchased.

If I don't own the item I am buying on the PlayStation store, why the hell am I paying a premium for it? I thought it was because I will always be able to play that game without having to worry about the disc getting scratched and in both cases I would own the item.

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. Linux PCs will run the vast majority of games and the handful of exclusives that don’t run yet will run on an emulator at some point.

at this point, i have quite bleak view on anyone buying anything from sony. those people are effectively supporting this shit, which may spread elsewhere.

I don't need to read the article to know that they're making the same argument as Amazon and Apple. When you "buy" a show on one of the streaming platforms, you aren't actually buying anything except an extended rental.

Prove deez nuts biatchhhh

They are not wrong tho

Like when you purchase books for 2 weeks at the library. Simple!

Well it says BUY in the store

With how shitty the owning and freedom situation on consoles is already, this really doesn't change much. People who are still using consoles just don't give any fucks. They happily swallowed the PSN subscription. They will happily swallow the next toad too.

Ah I see Playstation seems out of its wild teenage years and is now so overconfident it's poke the bear time!

This should be fun.

I wish them luck, because if you can't buy it, you can't steal it.

Lol Sony gonna Sony

If buying isn't owning... (just be careful not to get hit with malware if you do sail)
