Bad time for consumer rights.
First the ESA convinces the EU Parliament that video game developers shouldn't be held accountable in any real regard when shutting down access to their game after consumers have purchased a copy. Then the bill from the same movement gets shut down in California. THEN Sony revokes access to digital copies of movies that it's users own FROM THEIR LIBRARY. And then Sony immediately follows up with an announcement that it will cease production of all physical discs in 2028 while in the same breath announcing the shut down of it's PS3 and Vita digital storefronts.
So not only will you not have access to a physical version for upcoming releases of video games, you also aren't guaranteed access to purchasing the digital versions of those games, AND Sony can just revoke user's copies, and to top it off, you have no rights to protect you against any of it.
Then you have Xbox on the other end of the spectrum firing and shutting down whole studios because of it's terrible deal for ABK, now they have no money, they honestly have like nothing to show for it, and so of course they need to shutter some studios. I just hope that Asha figures things out on that end.
And Sony's just taking advantage of the lead they've taken over Xbox, no competition means that they're free to do whatever they want without any serious repercussions. Meanwhile Nintendo is brewing up new ways to screw their consumer, like game key cards.
Well you know what. I don't usually say this but; If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing.
The only silver lining is and has been for a while now Indie games. Please, if you take anything away from this it's support Indies.
