This is why backwards compatibility is important but of your console dies on you it’s possible to just buy a new one and log in there.

You are not understanding.  How many NEW PS3's are still out there? none. When PS4 shuts down its service there is no accessing those games period. They need to connect to Sony's servers to use them. PS4 did the same thing Xbox One got so much heat with online check-ins. Sony just lied saying they don't do that. So people who collect like me and like Physical games plus have our LRG games. Doesn't matter. Stop standing up for a multibillion-dollar company that does not have their customers best interest in mind.

Isn’t this a problem with physical games also? If you’re console dies you can’t play those games unless they are backward compatible.0

im not standing up for anything I just think this is a non issue. The people still buying games on the PlayStation store for ps3, psp, and vita probably make up a very small percentage of PlayStation users. 

it’s like phones as time goes on older models loose access to buying and accessing content on their store and they’d have to buy a new device for that. Unfortunately with PlayStation there isn’t a backwards compatibility feature for PS3 but that’s a whole other discussion.
