"Piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue": Sony just proved why digital storefronts are broken
www.windowscentral.com
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 buy games from steam here and there once it’s on sale but I don’t see it as a purchase tbh. You can’t own digital media that way.

    I see it as paying for access. I am paying for them to give me access from any steam computer with the benefits of having my saves in the cloud.

    That’s not worth $60-$100, but it’s worth <$10 for certain games.

      We used to pay full price for something to have it forever. Now we’re trained to pay full price to “pay for access.”

      We’ve been trained to pay more for less guaranteed. :(
