The pitfalls of digital gaming

Sony just sent out notices to PSN members that they're closing the PS3 store in a couple months. They recently disabled access from PCs, so people were dreading this day.

So far it doesn't mean that you can't re-download any purchased content, but you can't add/buy anything new, including freebies and DLC.
But it does have the chilling effect of making you wonder when that happens, and once they do, they've basically made it clear that any generation of digital gaming (PS4/5/etc) is going to be subject to it.

AFAIK Steam doesn't have this problem, does it?

Any case, it seems to have triggered panic buying and the PS3 PS Store have been error ridden for the last couple days...
