> So they paid for a game they do not own, if Playstation can just yank it from out underneath your feet at any time.
The local newspaper ran a big article some time ago on how some people are coming back to physical media, such as books, CDs and vinyl. The expert they interviewed only mentioned things like nostalgia and simplicity as the possible or likely reasons.
Not a syllable was uttered about actually being able to *own* your media and how some people actually like to be able to *keep* the media they've purchased.
It was disappointing, but not surprising. It seems the mainstream anything is very much struggling to understand that the new streaming landscape means anyone can have any content taken away from them at any time. Or that it actually is a genuine concern.
