I am so sick of Sony right now. They clearly hate all their players, ignoring all their complaints and frustrations, choosing to kill all physical media for PlayStation by going all digital for no reason at all other than to just be greedy and completely ripoff and steal their player's money.

What makes it worse is that you do not own any of the games that you bought at all. Sony has full control and access over to both your account and all your games. You don't own the games you buy digitally, you're only paying Sony for permission to just play them instead. Because of that, they can just delete your whole account, all of your games and save datas just for not logging in continuously 3 years straight.

I decided that I've had enough of all this hate coming from Sony and have started planning on rebuying my whole PlayStation library for other platforms, such as Nintendo Switch 1+2, Steam PC, Mobile Phones, or even just via Emulation. As ambiguous as this plan is, I do have a couple of issues though when it comes to rebuying my whole library.

The main issues I have here however is that for one, it is going to be very expensive and is going to cost me a lot of money to afford, especially for older, rare, obscure and forgotten video games. Even games imported from other countries, such as Japan, is going to cost me lots, especially for shipping.

Secondly, some games like PS:All-Stars are PlayStation exclusive with no other way to get them other than via Emulation, which is also another massive problem for me when it comes to the massive storage size for not only on my PC, but on other devices as well such as my Mobile Phone. With so many games and so many files on both my Computer and my Phone, I pretty much have no more space to Emulate at this point.

Lastly, if I do somehow manage to rebuy all of my PlayStation games, the original save datas themselves that are still on the PlayStation consoles would be impossible to transfer and will end up being lost for good, meaning I would literally need to spend so many more years, replaying every single game again all the way back from the very start for several hours nonstop, all just to re-beat them all and go back to the exact same spot I where left it again.

All those hours I've played, all that storage space, and all that money I've spent, now completely wasted. And now I would have to redo everything all over again, waste more money for games I have already bought, deleting files for both my PC and Mobile Phone just for more storage space, and spending hours for each game, which would take me years to complete. This really sucks.
