Physical vs. Digital (alien.top)

I wanted to hear the thoughts of people on this considering the news of Sony showing recently that stuff which you’ve bought online can be taken away at anytime. Which we’ve known for a while at this point tbh.

I also feel like the potential solution is to make digital as reliable as physical as in it can’t be “taken” away from you somehow. An idea being something like if you buy a game on the PS5 if somewhere down the line you’re not able to download that you’re able to access it in another way. Because if buying isn’t owning piracy isn’t stealing in my opinion and that’s the only solution right now.

I love how Steam has been operating with digital only products for more than a decade but we are only now having concerns.
