It totally is a black and white thing. Think of Sony unexpectedly discontinuing PSMobile and making the (purchased, from PSN) PSM libraries useless. They offered a limited time code to "activate" PSM games, but they can't be transferred, backed up, etc, and any purchased game you bought that you didn't "activate" within the time limit is useless.
Imagine a digital future with (for example) SCEA unilaterally deciding what games you can play, for how much, and deactivating games you have bought when THEY decide they are obsolete or no longer profitable to maintain a storefront for.

. If you show me a case where it has happened then I stand corrected, otherwise the conspiracy theories have no basis in reality.

You didn't read my post. SCEA deactivated and took down the entire PSMobile library for Vita, after selling the games on PSN for several years. Games that I purchased but didn't have room to download, or downloaded games that I didn't "activate" within the time limit, are unplayable.

That is the current horrible example of the ephemeral nature of digital downloads. If Sony/MSXbox/Nintendo decides they aren't profitable, boom... goodbye! With no recourse.
