Original caption

PlayStation fans are watching their library evaporate in real time and Sony’s response is essentially ‘deal with it.’ Licensing expires, servers shut down, digital only means zero resale = you own nothing. Meanwhile physical games sit on shelves forever. This is the console war nobody wanted to fight. #Playstation #GamingNews #ConsolWars #PhysicalMedia #GameOwnership
