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.
Paying is up to the user of course. It was just meant as a “it’s not as bad as others in DRM”.
Also you could have hundreds of games for 0,- there, too.
For me it was indeed the convenience. I was pirate since the 80s but steam gave a reason to just buy. Be it updates, workshop, community all around a game, news for that etc.
Sure, but then why pay for them at all, unless you really want to support the devs?
It being legal and convenient is the improved service that can help reduce piracy.
