I really don't see the issue here you guys are having with digital media 

Are you guys aware most of the games, even those in physical media, needs to be downloaded to even play nowadays? Physical media can't store the size of AAA games anymore that's why they are kept on servers. Games nowadays are released film of DLCs, patches and bug fixes that comes well ahead of the physical release 

I.E. it doesn't matter whether you bought physical or not, if companies shut downs their servers you won't be able to play your physical AAA game. Don't make a fool of yourself thinking you can't avoid this just supporting physical media because you can't 

Maybe you think this is a terrible plan from studios to screw with consumers making them to pay for a game that is just going to dissapear in what, 10 years after the system is replaced? But this is just how the game industry works nowadays. You might enjoy the benefits of patches, additional content and other nice things that comes with internet, but it comes from a price. And yes most of gamers won't choose getting deprived from the advances of technology for the sake of fitting a game in a Blu Ray Disc and never getting updates again 

Sure we can (and should) make pressure on Sony to make their servers up at least making for people download their digital purchases for maybe another 4 or 5 years, but they will shut it down eventually due to the simple fact that almost nobody is making use of it. Looking for this thread all replies are making me feel that absolutely not a single one of users here had real plans to keep purchasing PS3 games if this shut down news wasn't coming out

Keep in mind people like who like to collect games for 40 years are an exception. Talking about myself, I don't even see the point in keeping games for longer than one generation ahead of its release. All my games from PS2 and DS days are gone and yeah, I don't think I need them I'm sorry if consumers like me are fucking with you, but that's how I feel keke

Off topic:

In a forum where people are so eager to defend companies charging full price for 90's ports with barely any improves I wonder why make such a issue over those same companies shutting down the stores that sells the original games. You guys can keep just buying their overpriced remasters released every gen, don't worry they won't stop to be released anytime soon
