> To buy a PS5 Pro is going to require re-buying all of your games for it.

No? You can plan all your PS4 (and regular PS5) games. Plus some PS3 and PS One (IIRC) other games.

* Not all PS4 games can run on PS5. Granted, it's only a few edge cases. But you still need to pay the PS4>PS5 upgrade if you want to avoid bottlenecks.

* PS3 games and the like require a 150+$ yearly subscription, and it's streaming for many of them. No thanks.

* No PS2/PSP/Vita compatibility, heck no emulation at all.

I think they mean rebuying all your steam games on PSN

But what if I have had PS3/4/5? anyway silly argument given how much of steam libraries go unplayed anyway.

Exactly. That is just more about the ecosystem you are already in. I've been buying most games digitally since Xbox 360, and they all still run on my XSX. The same would be true if I had been in the Playstation ecosystem.
