Is it possible to back-up any digital games that you purchase? Could PlayStation decide your purchase is no longer available to re-install at some point in the future?
I think they could revoke licenses in the same way that MS or Valve could also technically do but have not because it would threaten their business. The disks that you can buy these days are rarely full games so you need to download patches. To my knowledge Sony didn’t revoke access to PT but at a certain point you could only access it on an account that had already downloaded it and you could only reinstall from backups.
