Anyone who bothers to be a thoughtful consumer knew GTA 6 was going to be a industry setter. Companies were gonna do exactly what rockstar does for the game. Your have to be really dumb to not know that.

The endhitification and removal of ownership continues for video gaming.

The recent news of sony taking peoples movie libraries away with no refunds should be a warning but people will still mindlessly buy.

Digital isn't the issue. The issue is the fact if something changes Sony can take away what you paid for and say Fuck you.

Remember when Ubisodt shut down the crew and if you bought it you couldn't play the single player.

Now before people talk about PC. First there's GOG that sell DRM free games. There's piracy and then steam is pretty consumer friendly on this.

I own a few games delisted from Steam. Battlestar Galactice Deadlock and Friday the 13th being good examples. I can still download and play them. In Friday the 13ths case the company shut down online servers. Which is a risk for any game with a multiplayer mode or even if it's entirely multiplayer.

Microsoft stopped selling movies. But left movie libraries untouched. They also shut down the store for the 360 but I can still download and play my digital games on the 360 or on any Xbox

It can't vary based on company. If we buy something we should be able to play it whenever we want. Online multiplayer support is a different subject. But if buying isn't owning then piracy ain't stealing.
