They should be more responsible with their digital platforms anyway. Who's going to buy a digital only platform like, say, the PS5 digital model, if they start hearing stories about digital stores closing and patches (or even entire games) ending up completely unaccessible? That's why you invest in physical.

I agree!

I`m sure that now all the people that were upset will buy a lot from the PS3 and mainly PSVita store right?

I think the market for older games is big enough. Retro gaming never goes out of fashion.

Alright, so you won. I challenge you all to buy games on the PSVita and PS3. Or hell, even play them. Oh, wait, I guarantee none of you are actually going to do that. and no, don't bother correcting me, I know you're lying or just being contrarian.

I don't think you know people as well as you claim to.

The present sure has an uphill battle, though. So many classics to play, so little time in a life.

If the market for those games was really that significant Sony wouldn`t have gone to close their store. It is that simple.

Are you guys for real? It sounds like you're mad that Sony changed their mind about this. Did you want these stores to close?

For me the store being open or closed is irrelevant, but both of us is just pointing that a lot of the vocal people complaining won`t really be putting the money on those stores, because guess what, if there were truly that many people buying there they wouldn`t close them.

I love people who downplay people's want to play Classic Games on this site, it is fricken hilarious. It is like people ignore the obvious demand in the market for retro games, retro consoles, retro devices that can play said games.

It is like you ignore that Sony have the numbers and they know the demand isn`t enough.

What is your problem exactly? That people who still enjoy the platforms are able to buy games on them? That people who never owned the platforms can still purchase one and still feel like they can get some value out of it? That Sony can continue to profit from the sales of such purchases? 

Cutting your nose to spite your face in full force here, and it's a terrible look.

The problem is quite obvious, people that were outragged that Sony was closing the store while ignoring that the reason it was being closed is that it doesn`t make much revenue anymore.
