i don't get why everyone's complaining about this. No-one was like "OMG they stopped making super nintendo games." or "OMG no more sega genesis games" when those platforms were end of lifed.

This is the same thing. Your existing games continue to work. You existing console continues to work. You're just not going to get an endless supply of new stuff for it.

I agree the lack of disk based games kills the ability to share and resell but that's a separate issue, and i'd like to think that we can all agree at this point that physical media is "a dead man walking" regardless of how we feel about that.

If you'd read the article in its entirety you'd have seen these points discussed.

Those old Super Nintendo games could be played for as long as the console lived (to this day for some of them) without an online store being nixed or capability reduced to drive sales of a new console.

The main point of your comment 'existing games and systems will continue to work' is patently false. When games are no longer made/sold physically and online stores are eventually taken down, your product has vanished into the aether. Hard and disk drives fail and if you cant read a disc or download your game, how then does one play it?

I think the larger issue is Sony's outright lies and anti-consumer behavior
