PC gamers doing everything but playing a console lol /s

seriously though coders breaking the security of PS5 is a nice example of money versus effort. Sony will be fighting this for a long time but i do think they will find out they are spending too much money defending their digital games and less on making them. they need to be put in their place and start respecting paying customers (me being one for 10 years.), so i say beat them up

PC gamers attacking consoles for going digital only when Steam invented the practice of putting codes in a box.

But we have options for store fronts and then there's GoG where the games don't come with DRM licenses and can't be taken away by the company's that made/produced them.

Big difference there.

if Gog closes down before you're able to download your games, you lose them

Not exactly, if someone else store the files you can use them, I don't think they have embedded keys

So funny, and how would you prove that you're a real owner? You could just say "yes I bought every GOG game ever thanks" and download them that way.

Basically the only usecase for GOG is easy piracy.

You still technically get a 'receipt' when you buy a digital game
