... having a home console connect to PSN once every 30 days is a problem? Feels like all ps5 owners have internet.

My bigger issue with Sony is the lack of games, paying for online, etc.

I want to play stuff years from now when those services maybe gone. There also people in places who don't always have that option. This is the very thing that got Don in trouble. Telling people who can't always have online to play a Xbox 360 instead.

I can't fathom PSN being gone in your lifetime.  And I figure if PSN goes away, emulation will be widely available. 

While the impact would be massive, the risk is incredibly low.  

edit

I do agree, it is stupid.  I can't fathom many ps5 games actively decompiling software and participating in piracy.  I get it on PC, but console gamers, I can't see it as being a big deal.
