What Sony should do is when they turn off the servers for PS4 they will put a final update that disables all this problematic checks/features.

Now legally if I bought a game digitally could Sony refuse to offer it to me in 25 years because they can't bother to run some servers anymore? The PS3 announcement specifies that you can still download your games, only purchasing new stuff is no longer supported - which honestly feels weird , why not let people publish small indie games to PS3 too, is it hat extremely expensive to maintain those servers? Is it because of technical issues or is a people issue.

It could just be squashing demand for the older console so there's more inventive to buy the new one. Or at least that could be what they're thinking.
