Actually, the only people that this hurts are those with Custom Firmware, but still support Sony through using the PSN.
The thing is, it really doesn't hurt the people with Custom Firmware. If they want they can
easily find the ISOs of the games, and either simply transfer them over to a memory stick (
as is the case with PSP games), or convert them to eboots and do the same (
PS1 games). The only thing that is hurt by this decision is Sony. Here is a market of people still willing to support them through the purchase of older games, and Sony is essentially telling them to go bootleg instead of pay them.
Maybe its just me, but this stinks of Nintendo's old "We're big enough to not need third party game support" stint with the N64.
