But what if you already bought a console? It shouldn’t be held hostage by Sony selling games at 100$ in the future.
A PC without Steam is still a PC.

This is a feature they’re rolling out, specifically with an eye towards the PS6. As far as I’m aware, that console hasn’t even been released yet. If Sony is retailing games for $100 on their new console, that would strongly dissuade me from buying the console. A PC without Steam is still a PC. When the PS2 released, it was a cheaper blueray player than the current iteration of retail blueray players. People would buy the console just to watch movies. The direction consoles have gone make them more like PCs with a home entertainment configuration than video game machines with some extra bells and whistles.
