A storm knocked out Internet, so now you can't play any games due to Always-on DRM.

You try to watch a movie you physically own, but you didn't buy the $350 optical addon to the digital-only version of the console.

    This first happened to me in 2014? It's super frustrating.

    It also happens with Steam. I remember forgetting to go offline before taking my gaming laptop to the woods or in airplanes, and suddenly not being able to play.

I dunno. Prometheus?] fuck dude, those cost a lot in the early 2000s.
