The PS3 and Vita are being buried alive

So this is what's going to happen when Steam dies. Your stuff is just gone.

This is a shame - there are a lot of great &quot;old&quot; games for PS3 and PS Vita, which were never ported to modern consoles.<p>This is the new normal on consoles. The Nintendo 3DS will face the same issue soon - once Nintendo pulls the plug on the 3DS online shop, many games will cease to exist, since they were never released on physical media.<p>Piracy is a solution, but it&#x27;s sketchy, hit-and-miss, and is kinda against my morals.<p>This is why I love Nightdive Studios, which is reviving some old games.

i don&#x27;t get why everyone&#x27;s complaining about this. No-one was like &quot;OMG they stopped making super nintendo games.&quot; or &quot;OMG no more sega genesis games&quot; when those platforms were end of lifed.<p>This is the same thing. Your existing games continue to work. You existing console continues to work. You&#x27;re just not going to get an endless supply of new stuff for it.<p>I agree the lack of disk based games kills the ability to share and resell but that&#x27;s a separate issue, and i&#x27;d like to think that we can all agree at this point that physical media is &quot;a dead man walking&quot; regardless of how we feel about that.
