Question to anyone who was buying ps5 discs:

When was the last time you even bought a game on disc that didn't need a download to fix a critical issue right away? Cause it seems like they ruined disc ownership like since PS4 times.

    Discs have become more of a tradeable license than anything else, but that's still far, far better than having no option at all.

    if you sell your games, sure. But I can play any game on any of my PS3 and older systems right now, right down to my 40 year old NES.

    You think that sony server is going to give you those game patches 15 years from now?

    Probably, considering that even with the closing of the PS3 store 20 years later, you will still be able to download and patch games you've already purchased. PS4 and PS5 will likely be backwards compatible on PS6 (for digital games only, of course), so will remain up for even longer since they'll still be usable on current hardware.

    But even if they're went the Nintendo route where you only have a 15 year window or so, a tradeable license during that period is better than none at all. Still sucks ultimately, of course.
