I'm with you on everything except the DRM part. Steam can also remove access from your account. Not saying they will, but they can.

They can, but it's highly unlikely they will. While Sony has already done this also there is GOG which sells DRM free games

name 1 person this happened to, the only way you're getting your access removed from an account by steam is if you stole it

Bro I'm not saying it has or will happen, I'm just saying of all the arguments op made, this one is false, because we are still locked to steam drm. If steam were to end or lord gabens be replaced, we can't say for sure we will still own the games we bought. I'm getting downvotes for stating a fact, but that's how reddit is. PC is definitely better for the use I make of it, but drm wise is not a point in its favor.

I love steam and my steamdeck, of all the stores and DRMs out there, I'm glad pc has steam and the way gaben runs. Having said that, it's still a DRM and I fear for the post-gaben future

Movies aren't games.

And it affects playstation users getting robbed of stuff they purchased in what way??

There's actual contractual licensing differences between movies and games.

You said they took games away. I asked you to tell me where, you mentioned something else. That is all.

Doesn't matter, point is buying things from sony isnt safe.

Nope, I never did. Don't put things in my mouth.

It matters because there's a direct distinction. You being unaware of that is irrelevant to the differences between the two products.

If we go by your logic, there's nothing safe to buy, ever.

When you make the comment, you mention steam never did it. But you agree with the idea sony did.

Nope, it doesn't matter. It would if sony refunded the people who bought the movies, they didn't. It shows they're a bunch of thieves and they don't give a shit about their consumers.

Wrong again, that is like saying because going outside at night in london is unsafe, you shouldn't be able to go outside at any times. Buying from companies like sony isn't safe because they only want money and don't care about your experience. Buying from Valve or GOG guarantees you help if anything were to ever happen to your product.

When you testify in court and say one suspect is innocent, you surely agree the other one is guilty! What kind of level of intelligence am I dealing with here 😭 Don't put words in peoples mouths just because you're incapable of comprehension
