        Yep, with move towards disc’s becoming glorified license checks that allow you to download the game it’s piracy that will end up actually preserving anything.

          There’s no move towards that on PlayStation. Maybe on nintendo where they don’t put the entire game on the cart sometimes but it’s still rare.

    Unfortunately the only thing likely to come out of this is a class action lawsuit where the lawyers make millions and each user gets a check for $0.12.

      This is the eventual future of all digital services around TV, music, and film. All these licensing contracts have an end date

        Fortunately not music, all my purchases are available for drm free download and I keep my own backups. Really hate that video isn’t treated the same way.

            A lot of my library’s history is from iTunes, but most things I’ve gotten in the last 5 or so years I’ve tried to get from Bandcamp, and then Beatport if I need lossless and iTunes if I can do without.
