    They will like PC gamers swallow all the DRM and digital downloads as we see everytime there is complaints about Denovo or the latest game has been withdrawn on Steam gamers keep going back and buying more. It will end the same way on Playstation.

      I’m not aware of Steam ever having removed a purchased game from a library.
      If you have a reliable source that says otherwise please link it.

      Technically they could do that of course.
      But it would be bad for their business and have people do more business with gog.com.
      Steam gets chosen over gog.com for convenience.
      If purchased games disappear that will be even more inconvenient.

        external resources (e.g. game servers) outside the responsibility of Steam are different things and I wouldn’t blame Steam for it.

        What if the publisher decides they no longer want it to be available? Is that a “good reason”? It’s outside the responsibility and control of Steam.

          Steam removes it from the store. It’s still in my library and I can still download it anytime.

          That’s been my experience.
