As someone who likes to preserve games, this is just another form of gatekeeping. They get to hold onto all the games and once the platform decides a certain game isn't worth keeping around, there it goes and good luck seeing it again if someone like me hasn't backed up a copy. So many games locked to the PS3 that will never see a resurgence. I struggle to see a situation where Netflix's service will be any different.
