My brother who hasn’t turned on his PS3 or used PSN in over 10 years decided to boot up his ps3 to play something that is currently DOWNLOADED on the console.

Licenses are expired and his PSN account is deleted. So games are gone forever

WOOOOO!!!!!

Well, that's DRM checking if the license you paid for didn't expire yet, and having a full game on disc wouldn't stop that from happening either.

Now, remember that storm a while back from new games needing a one time online access, that many people went on to defend because "it was only for 20 days" or whatever, and then everyone quickly moved on from that? Yeah, good luck with your game preservation on playstation.
