They take the same 30% that PlayStation, Xbox, and GOG take.
So if they can afford it so can PlayStation.
Its not the studio who hosts it its the PS store and steam and Xbox who run the download servers.
And again, it isn’t the publisher that chooses to take a copy you own or they would tell Steam to stop. It is the store that you bought it on that chooses to do that. PlayStation and Xbox choose to do that, steam doesn’t which is why no one ever raised hell about steam having non physical (minus like, two or 3 games they made long ago) because they know when they buy it on steam they can download it forever or at least until Gabe dies.
If you are really for the end of micropladtics you should be supporting pro consumer choices that make people WANT digital, just like steam is doing. Not the ability to take something away you bought at a whim like Sony does all the time.
No. Steam elects to absorb the lifetime hosting costs and builds a perpetual license into the publishing deal.
All Sony and MS licensing deals are time bound and the developer/publisher is responsible for hosting costs. When the publisher doesn’t want to pay anymore, the title gets taken down.
Do you have a source for that? Sony says they take 30% cut. You pay via revenue share of a cut of game sales and not recurring maintenance costs.
So nope. Sony being anti consumer isn’t because of their licensing agreement here. They take the same exact split that steam does for the same reasons. They don’t pay for download hosting on the PS store or steam store except for that 30% revenue split.
Which highlights again why people are pissed. It isn’t about the discs really, its about Sony fucking people and taking what they bought away with a proven track record of doing just that. The discs were just the only way to prevent them from doing that.

Just googled it and no, they don’t do that.

“Trust me bro, I googled it!”
And what happens when the developer/publishers licenses (middleware, brands/teams, music, etc) expire?
Provide the source for your claims and prove me wrong.
No? Ah. Didn’t think so.
Sorry, can’t, NDA.
You can’t lookup Sony’s terms and conditions for publishers on their website like I just did?
You’re so full of shit I can smell you from here.
Can’t accept when you’re wrong huh?
Again… You don’t work in the industry, you don’t know anyone who works in the industry… You’re just talking out your ass on the internet.
If you want to fight for justice, pick up brick and go fuck up one of your local Nazis…
Whining about video games on the internet doesn’t make you brave, it makes you simple.
Sources or shut the fuck up.
You work for these people it doesn’t make you brave defending your masters.
It makes me right that you can’t even prove what you say true, though.
You should be upset more about it.
