Sony is erasing over 550 movies from PlayStation libraries without offering a single refund. If clicking "Buy" only grants access until a corporate licensing deal expires, the service is fundamentally broken.
I have games on steam that are not sold anymore and are supported by valve, I can download them, I can discuss with people about thrm, they work flawlessly, but they are not sold anymore.
I can also share ALL of my games with a lot of people as in friends and family, forever!
valve (actually the devs) does not put DRM restrictions into most games. most of them don’t work without steam because the developer coded it with the expectation that steam will always be there, and that can be fixed with the goldberg steam emulator.
most games you can just download from ypur library, prepare it for goldberg, and it will work without steam
I have this mentality too so it’s really weird for me to see so many people just blindly praise Valve. Corporations have great track records until they don’t. Don’t get too comfortable.

Not the same.
* as long as Valve allows that

Of course, and as long as they exist. They are after all a digital platform, nothing that can be done about that. Still.
Exactly right, it’s not. You’re talking about delisted games, not removed games.
I guess you are right, but still, you can’t have that on other platforms and my second point stands strong.
Can’t have what on other platforms? What second point?
Why would you think you couldn’t share your Sony games with friends and family?
Because I know 2 people with Sony consoles and about 100 with steam accounts.
there’s outliers everywhere
