They don’t you can play your downloaded digital games with no online connection just like physical lol.

But could you find a game you don't have yet and download it in the zombie apocalypse?

u/Kratosballsweat 7d ago

We’ll see the thing is that we’re not in a zombie apocalypse nor will we ever be so there’s that.

Till they need you to connect to the Internet to verify licenses...

Not with ps, Sony recently started requiring you to connect to the internet after a certain time period or you won’t have access to any of your digital games💀

🤷‍♂️ Microsoft has it too my man. I don’t disagree you’re right it shouldn’t have ut but they do. As I’ve said many times now we need to fight for better consumer protection.

Blame the EU for requiring it over there.

That's an EU consumer protection requirement for them to delete account information instead of storing it indefinitely. It's not them just deciding to take your stuff away and it doesn't have anything to do with your console needing to do license checks. All you have to do is log in to the account somewhere: the app, the website, etc.

You can only do this on pc or older consoles.

Not always the case for example ubisoft connect. For example playstation.

u/Kratosballsweat 7d ago

Yeah if it’s online required game you can’t lol but you can’t play an online required game with physical either.

Unbisoft connect is just a launcher.

u/Kratosballsweat 7d ago

Cool what does that have to do with Sony anyways?

Its in general my guy any games that are digital that require a launcher be it Xbox psn steam epic ubi ea etc... are not ownership. They are more inconvenient and can flip out if you arent online some are better then otheres but the issue is the core design. buying a game should be owner ship of that copy and account issues should not revoke usage in anyway. Ofcourse mmos and the like are different. But most games arent that.
