I’d imagine the games file size would be so large you’d need a full on binder to keep all the discs
Even if it requires a download, a license you can sell or trade is better than one you can’t.
Of course, but we’re never going to get there without regulation.
Physical media was already a car crash victim lol. Physical sales are like 10% of all console game sales. To make the top 10 physical sales charts in the UK and US a game barely has to hit 4 figures in sales.
Designed car crash, aided by subsidized digital only console variants.
No, because the digital uptake began as soon as digital copies of every game were made available on the 360. People like me have basically been digital-only since then. Digital only consoles didn’t start until generations later.
Give up physical media and own nothing.
Time to do some reading… https://dervis.de/physical/
I don’t need to read anything. I understand the benefits and also the drawbacks of digital licenses.
To me, and to most people, the benefits - instant access, all games accessible without getting off your lounge, no possibility of losing/breaking discs, home console/family sharing, no “sold out” chance, among others - outweigh being able to re-sell and lend to people.
These days even the physical prices are not much cheaper than digital, and digital copies go on much better sales that are more available.
I don’t need to read anything.
Wow. This is definitely something that intelligent, well adjusted people say regularly!
I don’t need to read anything this topic because I’m well aware of the downsides and repercussions of what I’m doing. The benefits outweigh them, like I said.
Yes, the best people are closed minded and yell on the internet about how they already know everything they need to know. You’re doing it, we’re impressed!!!
I never played on of the GTA series. But I’m done I can’t buy a game w/o a DVD/CD so I can play when I’m on generator.
Also why I have over a 1k dvd movies.
A large number of games on Steam don’t have always-online DRM. And Steam has an offline mode too. And, of course, there’s GOG and other non-DRM platforms.
GOG is my goto, but I like to play the classics like Star Flight, King Quest, etc
With a username like that I’m surprised you didn’t mention X-Wing vs TIE Fighter lol
I have the originals still.
It’s at least the last nail in the coffin for consoles. The whole point of a console is that you can put the game in and it just works.
