So you need to maintain an online membership to retain access to these games, right?
You will own nothing and be happy, I guess.
And they'll only port like 6 games, ever.
Drip fed over the course of several years.
And the game you specifically wanted to play? It’s one of the last ones to be dropped.
Same as the current Switch online, Microsoft's game pass, and whatever Sony offers then?

Apologies if I'm coming off too grumpy, I've just seen a hundred similar comments over the last 24 hours from people outraged that a company known for unfriendly practices in an industry full of other companies known for unfriendly business practices have continued doing the same unfriendly business practices that are already happening everywhere.
Got it. No worries, I apologize if I came across as grumpy as well. For what it's worth, there were a few things I liked from the direct (Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, and 3 seconds of Silk Song).
