    That far into the future, physical PS5s will either be the OG version with disc, or one that is already paired.

    You only need validation on initial setup.

      I think the concern here is about what happens once they stop making official disk drives and the existing ones break. Technologically, I could connect a generic bluray drive to a PS5, but this hardware DRM prevents that.

      I’m sure there will be workarounds, they’re just going to be annoying.

        That far in the future we’ll just use emulation. See Sega Genesis/Sega CD or the NEC TurboGrafx/CD.
