And the physical discs aren’t the problem. People billing it down to that means the problem won’t get solved. Might as well tell Sony they don’t care about the real issue. Since PS4/XB1, games have basically required Internet to play. If the game is delisted, it still won’t play even if you have the disc. Delisting is the real problem. Stopping sales of the game isn’t fine, but it’s forgivable. But let people who own it play it in perpetuity. Or refund their money.
Yeah, I mean that was the generation where games really started to require Internet and/or Day One updates to play. Before that, online was really optional.
Sure, some newer games are fully contained on the disc and 1.0 is playable offline, but from then, more and more weren’t.
“some newer games” is doing a massive disservice to the fact that it remains the vast majority. It is more honest to say some games aren’t playable from disc, but most are.
