    I am thinking of canceling PS PLUS and stop buying games for the platform. I still have a backlog to go thru. Any newer games in particular by square enix, i'll likely go Steam.

    Congratulations for breaking the chains.

    These days I don't buy many games, but the ones I do, I get from Gog, Itch.io and Zoom-Platform, because once you are done with the purchase you don't depend on the goodwill of the store to last forever.

    I did not know that if you fail to login for three years you lose your games. There needs to be a 10 year guarantee for their software.
