I have no clue what this has to do with anything trophies related.
Well the marketing guy from SCEA did say that Vita would have a 10 year support span… and, its Vitas 10th years anniversary in Japan this December… so I guess they lived up to their promise?
They already redesigned their websites and removed the ability to purchase anything that isn't PS4/PS5
The writing is on the wall.
PS Now lol.
The subscription model is what these companies are doing for legacy content now. See NES and SNES Online on the Switch.
Can't say I'm surprised, considering all the hubbub about Sony's backend being a bit of a shitshow.
Still fuckin' sucks, regardless though.

This is not an issue for me as long as we have access to the download list, as clunky as it is to browse on these consoles. Sucks that Sony never added BC to these digital purchases on PS5, I have plenty of digital games that I wouldn't mind being able to play on a current console. They could at least add the PSP/PS1 games, most smartphones can run PPSSPP decently.
I am in the same boat. I buy all multiplats for the Xbox now. I have no long term confidence with Sony.
Oh I know I am just saying it's a silly comparison. I imagine these versions are rarely touched while Microsoft don't just use the same files and sell them. They recertify them and have specific emulation software for XBO that makes them run. These stores shutting down have nothing to do with that. For example, if Microsoft decided to shut down the 360 store, that will have 0 effect on the BC titles you are talking about about.
Does it? The thought the entire service was dead. I thought you couldn't even connect into the wii shop channel anymore
Don't need the console to buy still in US. Can use this https://store.playstation.com/en-us/home/games?PlatformPrivacyWs1=all&psappver=19.15.0&smcid=psapp
welp.
I still have some PS3 games on my wishlist and gonna add some credit. Imagine supporting and buying Digital only PS5.
I don't know this site, I'd need to see this verified by some other outlets.
I'm assuming this would maintain access to re-download... but even sunsetting purchases for these consoles when there was a such a huge digital emphasis is super shitty.

These posts always come up in these threads, but with a store with a huge amount of digital-only releases, it's not really relevant
For anything PS1, I would seriously just consider modding a ps1 now with an x-station and be done with it. Maybe even a ps1 digital.
If true then fuck Sony hard.
Vita is still getting games and PS3/PSP would be locked out of games.

Well i hope that applies to the games i already own on PSN and not a whole new batch of games with new licensees attached to them.
The writing my be on the wall but it's still worth just waiting on official news before losing your mind about something we dont know any of the details about.
This could also mean they are moving some store stuff over to the new store in anticipation of BC. One can at least hope and dream. I know Xbox recently started migrating all of the BC games off their old janky 360 store into the new store and that seemed to work smoothly enough.
Shutting down the PS3 store is absolute indefensible bullshit, especially with that short of notice.
If Sony isn't going to do the work to keep PS3 alive with backwards compatibility they need to at least keep the servers up to honor purchases that have already taken place.
Watching videogames getting locked in a single piece of hardware in 2021 is just bad. So no one will buy Metal Gear Solid 4 from now on? Lmao
It seemed inevitable once they "updated" the PSN store. This is why I will be buying multiplats digitally on Xbox instead of Playstation though.
They have to...unless they want a few lawsuits to happen.
If real this is a big loss. PSP, Vita and PS3 online stores have many great games that are otherwise no longer legally available.
Even if it's not real, the fact that most people aren't surprised by this news or have just had their anxieties/fears justified goes to show how bad Sony treats their legacy.
