    A storm knocked out Internet, so now you can’t play any games due to Always-on DRM.

    You try to watch a movie you physically own, but you didn’t buy the $350 optical addon to the digital-only version of the console.

        already does. I had a Samsung bluray player from over a decade ago that refused to play any movies made a year after it was manufactured unless I connected it to update. it went in my kids room and plays DVDs from the local library now.

      This first happened to me in 2014? It’s super frustrating.

      It also happens with Steam. I remember forgetting to go offline before taking my gaming laptop to the woods or in airplanes, and suddenly not being able to play.
