I wager Sony would love the day when people pay 100 dollars for a game that gets deleted in 6 months, that they have to rebuy again at full price to play again.

Oh, you wanted to play [AAA game] that you already bought and paid for? Too bad, it's shut down and gone. But you can buy the almost-identical sequel [AAA game 2] for just $90!

This will also affect history badly. Entire games will be lost to history forever.
