No serious physical rights gamer cares about losing a few save files, and their library will be all cheap old or heavily discounted games, like the 90% of digital revenue that John at DF said it was.

Physical first gamers aren't losing those games unless they sell up their PlayStation, and even if they did, the libraries probably overlap heavily with old games they own physically from when they released in previous gens on disc. Any potential loss is nothing compared to the loss of owning games versus the open ended rental that digital licenses are on PlayStation's store moving forward.

I'm pretty sure most of us abandoning PlayStation have weighed up the situation and are happy to punish PlayStation(and Sony) forever over this, even if cutting off our nose to spite our face looks like the theme.

Many sell their old consoles, or at least pack them away eventually and don't have them plugged in.

For me it ended on a sour note to go from PS5 to PC this gen. I made the move to PC when both Sony and Microsoft were all in on doing ports. Built a $3500 living room PC beast. And saw no need for PS and XBOX consoles anymore. XBOX to PC was easy, many games are Play Anywhere and things carry over, but for PlayStation it was worse. I repurchased everything from Sony on Steam. Even if I got many games on sales it was still a lot of money, and no save transfer was annoying.

Then they ended the port strategy…
No fun allowed.

So yeah. I'm impressed so many fans are willing to give it all up and exit the bubble at this point. Means missing out on all single player games from Sony's studios.

I'm out because I'm cranky, from my perspective they tricked me into rebuilding a Sony library on PC and got me thinking I could move there. I'm hoping they do cross generation ports for awhile at least, I have a Pro. But once that ends I'm out, guess I'll play next Ratchet on YouTube

Sony had that PS overlay going, I really thought they would make a launcher, felt like it was happening. Could've been awesome! And would be clever to have some exclusive PS Launcher functionality to pull people in, sharing of saves, licenses, trophies, screens, playtime, etc.
Oh well.
