Sony already has a record of removing games and movies from accounts that paid for them.
Now they kill the 2nd hand resell market, borrowing/testing before purchase, purchasing at ANY discounted price from retailers, and the risk of having the title delisted.
The most anti-consumer move Sony could possibly make.

Realistically, all the game "Types" have already come out.
Humanity has produced enough "games" for a lifetime. That being, no more games need to be invented.
This is the case with music, it is the case with paintings, it is now the case with games.

"The advancement of the arts, from year to year, taxes our credulity, and seems to presage the arrival of that period when human improvement must end."
Edit: This above, is supposedly from a 1840's patent clerk and has often been rephrased as "Everything that could be be invented has already been invented".

The beginning and the end are processing compartmentalizations. They are not realities.
What was, is, and will be are entirely parallel and occur simultaneously.
