Digital, is it really worth the aggravation?

I was playing DriveClub VR 10 minutes ago until I got rudely thrown out in the middle of a challenge. "Can't verify the license for this content" wtf. Turns out PSN is undergoing maintenance and all my digital games on my secondary ps4 (the pro) are now locked. Since most my psvr games are digital and on the pro, f u Sony.

I got suckered into the half price deal for DC VR with the season pass, yet with a disc I would still be playing. The message also said to prevent this make this the primary ps4. Yeah no dice, network undergoing maintenance... Plus that's no solution as my kids play on the old ps4 and I don't want them using my account all the time to play Minecraft, Terraria, PvZ GW2 etc.

Digital sucks with multiple consoles (first world problems and all). Download it twice to play in 2 locations instead of simply taking the disc. Always taking up hdd space. Can't play when the network is down.

I was excited for the upcoming Psychonauts Rhombus of ruin for psvr, the 22nd, yet perhaps I'll wait for a physical release instead.

Happened to me a few weeks ago. Virtually my entire library was unplayable. Multiple consoles is actually the reason I went digital but the way PlayStation handles it is kind of frustrating. Only the main console gets automatically backed up. I'll play on the secondary and go back to the first. None of my save data will be there. Worse yet, sometimes the old data will overwrite the new. Also, on my secondary console, nobody can play my games but me even if I'm signed in. It's crazy.

The biggest plus is not having to change discs, I guess. I wish they would go back to the PSP/PS3 multiple primary console option.
