also what few people are acknowledging is what happens when the PS7 is released and womp womp it's not backwards compatible with PS6 software? so your entire library of PS6 games will just vanish. OR you hold onto that PS6 for as long as possible but eventually Sony will shut the servers off for that hardware. OR (and what likely WILL happen) is those PS6 games you bought will be "upgraded" for the PS7 and you'll have to buy them all over again. THIS is also likely the reason why Sony decided to stop selling first party single player titles on Steam. They've been planning this for a long time now.

It's not a matter of IF you lose those games but simply WHEN.

Backwards compatibility applies both to physical and digital media though? I think it's actually worse for physical media.
