Why so stubborn? What's really wrong with digital media?

2 problems

1)One platform holder is virtually guaranteed to quit business in next few years, no one in world knows what will happen to digital versions of their games. Most likely they will be gone.

2)You can get banned for no reason, like paypal servers being glitchy. No one will give you your games back, even if you dropped like 1k USD. It did happen, there was a thread on neogaf from user who experienced it himself.

>Even if you do happen to get banned, why not just make a back-up of everything?

I'm not sure you know how digital DRM works. In best case your banned backups are good until your console bricks. Also do you really going to play all you bought? You gonna play Street Fighter Alpha? You just built yourself a random backlog which will just haunt you when you turn on the console.

LOL....  No...  I don't like Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max.  However, it IS the superior vita version.  It may seem random, but I like fighting games most of all.  I do not like street fighter very much because because there just isn't very many characters I like.  But, I like all types of games, as long as they aren't first person shooters.  The only one I remotely enjoyed was Bioshock: Infinite.

I like RPGs, third person shooters, fighters especially.  I like GTAIII, and GTAV, but I do not like IV very much.  Lately, I've been playing GTAV, Alice, Marvel Vs. Capcom Origins, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2.  Honestly I've not been in the mood to play anything else.  I didn't know what to expect with Alice, but that game is fantastic.

But, about the back-ups...  I'm not sure how DRM works, honestly.  I remember last time I did a back-up, most of my games were restricted to the demo version and the others wouldn't work at all until I logged in....  The only game I know I absolutely wont be playing after PSN dies is bionic commando rearmed 2, which i don't play much because of the DRM restrictions.
