The console companies want to eventually move things to the cloud and that's where the real "fun" begins. You pay a subscription fee to never own any of your games ever again. They could even make it so that you pay for the time you use the service like "it's just $1 per hour, bro! It's a better deal than the arcade back in the day, especially if you account for inflation!!" and then they can add surge pricing if more people are using the service and "it's better than having to wait in line for the machine like we had to in the arcade days!"

fuck the ideals of scalpers. back when ps5 was out it was really hard to land a console with them grabbing them all.

took 2 whole years before they became easier to find.
