Forums - Sony - You won't be able to play your games if Sony shuts down their servers ( PSplus)

the2real4mafol on 15 June 2013

But you don't have to register your physical games, so you can still game offline. Not like the biggest games on PS4 will be made free on PS+ anyway. Just buy physical copies, new or second hand and you are fine



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I see a lot of people hating on the Xbox One and saying you won't be able to play your games anymore if their servers go down. But the same can be said about PSplus. If the service ends you will lose all your games. Now your answer will be " yes, but Sony would do something about it, they would give you your games at that moment". But the same can be said about Microsoft, they can unlock your games if the service expires.

Conclusion: The argument about not being able to play your games anymore is flawed

and you pay $50 a year to get access to 15-20 or so full PS3 games (and some vita games and apparantly some PS4 games come holiday) a year (cumulative)

thats a very different model than paying $60 for a full games for "unlimited" access

Conclusion: apples and oranges

yer i dont buy digital games so I can replay my shit when services go down.

That is the problem with XBOX one atm. How will I be able to play my OWN legit copies.

wow.

foolishly uninformed, or shamelessly lying?

Those games are RENTALs remember? so if i lose my subscription and access to all those games i am ok with that.

*Fist, because i can get it any time i want (unless their servers burn down and the whole thing went shit), full size games that cost $5 on ps+ are mine forever, even if i cancel my subscription. Can uninstall and re install as many times i want.

*second, its on $50 a year dude for access of over 300 games i have installed...

nice try...no wait actually no

This is why you have Blu Ray. All consoles are running Blu Ray now.

Huh... Did I miss something here? How would an offline game be affected by PS+?

Unless you're telling me there's DRM in it. O:
