: It looks to me like there is something I can do about it, or rather something

For you it will be an unwelcome insidious encroachment into your world of console gaming. You may be giving up a lot moving to PC but I don't have a crystal ball for that. I'd only move to PC gaming when the PC became as standardized as consoles. It may well happen.

For me digital distribution on consoles will be like a breath of fresh air.
