It's going to mean smaller selections of games, more gambling/gacha bullshit, and "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" will dominate the industry. When licensing runs out for music, they'll just pull a game instead of trying to "fix" it, if it's not profitable enough. We're entering an era where there will be a dead-zone of lost media and history because so much of it is increasingly locked up behind corporate barriers.

I have some bad news about the past few years for you...
