already does. I had a Samsung bluray player from over a decade ago that refused to play any movies made a year after it was manufactured unless I connected it to update. it went in my kids room and plays DVDs from the local library now.
This first happened to me in 2014? It’s super frustrating.
It also happens with Steam. I remember forgetting to go offline before taking my gaming laptop to the woods or in airplanes, and suddenly not being able to play.
do you remember those old pcmcia card cellphone adapters so you could work wherever you had cellphone coverage, but subscriptions were so expensive you needed a good excuse to make your boss pay for one because [dude who invented money. I dunno. Prometheus?] fuck dude, those cost a lot in the early 2000s.
i felt this way when A: drives went away. if it doesn’t have to be a sony brand BD player and could just be one that meets certain specs… fuck prices are going up such that 350 will be “cheap” soon.
A storm knocked out Internet, so now you can’t play any games due to Always-on DRM.
You try to watch a movie you physically own, but you didn’t buy the $350 optical addon to the digital-only version of the console.
So depressing.
Its so going to happen

It is the one thing that grinds my gears about Steam sometimes.
