You are correct. Which is why at this point you might as well go PC. Console games used to be playable without internet, just pop in and enjoy. I am not referencing the terrible experience it has become today (guess I am old). Nostalgia I suppose for an era that did already die.

The whole point of a console is ease, I pop in the disk, I play. If you take away that ease, it becomes just a locked down PC… why would you want that when you could just have a full PC?

And this will be me shifting to all PC gaming. If I must go digital only, I would rather give my money to Steam. Sony has proven itself not the most trustable with digital content (example the recent purge of movies people purchased)
