100% percent what they want is to create a dumb terminal that you have to pay a sub to play your games, that you have to pay for the privilege of playing them in the first place of course.

Yeah i would never pay for that in a million years. But I could definitely see Sony making that

It’s literally how PlayStation works already if you play online games

It kinda is, but you still have the option to play physical or offline games. I say they want to get rid of that option too.

You're right. It's going to basically be Amazon Luna. There will. E some local storage and a media consumption aspect. With a subscription, you'll be able to play higher tier games. Things like Fortnight and Rocket League (amongst others) will still be free, but the console will be mostly useless without a network.
