I don't want to buy a digital license. I want a physical disk.>sir just buy the code in the box for $89.99I don't want a piece of paper in the box with a serial number on it. I want a disk with the game on it.>sir it's 2026, this is how PC games are soldNO. I DON'T ACCEPT THIS.
>>538148775This board is a reddit repost
fyi for zoomers it is actually possible to lock you out of games that play from disksa lot of naive people fell for ebay scams back in the day thanks to thisalso fyi ebay was a site where you bought stuff from strangers
discs rot over time, even in ideal conditions.
>>538148775>No I don't accept thisToo bad, that's reality now.
>>538148775i havent bought a game, movie or had a tv sub for 20 years, just pirate everything.
>>538148921They drove away the actual posters so now just backfill with the same AI scraping topics to form personas to use elsewhere
>>538148775It won't be worth having even as a physical disc at $35.00, let alone for the cost of the electricity to play it
Just don't buy new games and stick with the good old ones and maybe get them on ebay/craigslist/whatever
>I don't want a car, I want a horsethis is how you sound
>>538148775based
>>538149263In the planned future a horse sounds like a reasonable alternative to cucked cars with all that sensors that monitor and meter your behaviour and beeping when you're 1 km/h over the speed limitFuck modern cars
>>538148775A disc means fuck all today. All games, especially for consoles, need updates in order to be playable. What happens when the platform ceases to provide the updates?On PC it could be argued that you can get the update from other sources. But then why not just get the whole game with the necessary updates from other sources?I had this issue with a recent install of Neverwinter Nights, I have the game discs, but it was much simpler just installing a gog copy of the enhanced edition
>>538148775nice scene. someone with a supercomputer and local ai should make it sio.

>>538150520forgot picrel
>>538148775>sir it's 2026, youre over 50 years old.
>>538150565I remember when I was 12 and I was installing this shit on the new computer.Zoomers never felt a joy of installing Windows from floppy discs
i like steam but i don't like how they will no longer be selling physical gift cards in stores. i don't want my credit card linked to the same desktop i shitpost and look at weird porn on, thats not comfy. i'll have to have 2 computers
>>538149092millenium discs last for a thousand years. the data stays intact for 10,000 years. you can get them at best buy. readable on any blu-ray drive. with a special drive that is also available at best buy and not too expensive you can even write to m discs. they cost a little more than cd's but still a fraction of the cost of a game.we have the technology, not in the labs, on the shelves today, affordably.
>>538150520Battlefield 6 is a 71GB download that would take around 3 days depending on my current dlspeed. I rather have the blurays
>>538151267CDR was a marvellous upgrade after floppies .. my zipdrive was the best .. I have my whole music collection sipped and ready to share in my backpack now I just have hundreds and hundreds or thousands of audio files on my NAS, I barely listen to any of them ..
>>538151629jesus son .. is your ISP using morse code to transmit ?

>>538148976I got CS1.6 by asking the worker if I could check the little book inside of the case, my friend next to me took a pic of the serial key and we got the game for free.Now I feel like a fking dick about it bc someone paid for the game and didnt get it.
>>538148775you're half the problemyou probably don't want to accept that, but it's truethe chains you feel, the reason for your stress, non-acceptance, is wanting this thingif you didn't want the game or whatever it is, this wouldn't bother youso this is a case of not being able to con an honest john. your corruption is an essential part of the problemstop wanting this product and the chains just evaporatethe first step toward freedom is accepting your own complicity in this problem
>>538154502>anything you want is bad
>>538148775>buy
>>538148775>PC gamesSilly anon, the PC version isn't coming out for another 2-3 years.
Its just something you gotta get used to, like you did with microtransactions, fucked up muliplatform ports, tranny weirdoes invading the industry, and other nonsense that's happened in the past 30 years.
>538154925(((you))) are a tranny weirdo invading spaces you don't belong in
>>538154925and you
>>538151629What the fuck? How? Ain't Europe most connected or is that just your Dutch bros next door?
>>538149092My ps1 shit still works. Don't keep it in the sun and you'll be fine. You'll be long dead before the disc is. Once Gabe Newell dies, you will no longer have a steam games library, just another, highly expensive, streaming fee. Turns out we were at the peak of technology in the disc age.
>>538154820why even get on the board and type to other people when you're that dishonest?summon your brain power and characterize my argument in a reasonable way or admit you're a weaselly liar and fuck offisn't that reasonable?
>>538154953I don't make video games. Wish I did. I have many ideas but no way to get them across into reality.
>i saw a screencap of a /v/ thread on reddit so now i will make a copycat thread on /pol/ok buy why? complaining about no disc has been old hat for YEARS. why do you care about having a physical copy when all games are hosted on steam or similar clients?this is just banal 'back in my day' complaining. your pc doesnt even HAVE a dvd drive in it.
>>538155005i recommend godot
>>538148775I'm not sure what any of that means. Can you give us a QRD of what precisely you're being forced to buy that you don't want?
>>538155017In the case of console versions it was nice to be able to give your friend/child/brother/whatever your copy when you were done or *gasp* trade it in or whatever. Now with no disc there is no option for brownoids to trade in for 15 dollars at gamestop.The real crime is that anyone even cares at this point about GTA6. After what they did with RDR2 and RDO there is no hope for rockstar.
>>538149392a horse is even more annoying to deal with
>he boughtered vidya
>>538155158You gotta support the industry otherwise it aint gonna be there.
>>538155154A horse won't refuse to get you to your destination because it thought you looked like you might be a bit tired
>>538155266A horse will generally take you to your destination on autopilot if he knows where you're going in fact kekMy friend's dad would drink and let his horse take him back home in the evening. Never had a problem or got lost once. Horse knew what it was doing.
>>538155372Horses are based, I heard a bunch of stories like that from older people in villages hereToo drunk to walk home from the bar? Your mates get you to the carriage, the horse knows where you liveA bunch of hay is going to a town 20 kilometers over? Fuck it, take a nap on the hay, the horse knows
>>538148775it's called voting with your money and not buying shit you don't agree with
>>538155562For the longest time in a lot of areas you couldn't get a DUI on a horse because the horse is driving.Horse wants to get back to the barn and chill just like you do.
>>538149117Oh well lol looks like I will just pirate and burn my own physical copies then. Failing that I will just own jailbroken consoles and not pay the company a penny
>>538148775The physical disc GTA6 will be available a couple months after release, just chill out and wait >bunch of whiners
>>538149458wtf are you talking about my xbox360 in not supported at all and works just fine
>>538150565windows? that’s not joy that’s autism
>>538156142No actually Rockstar confirmed they are not doing a physical release. That said, no one should be buying this slop.
>>538156109That's the spirit
>>538156250They gotta stop leaks for the most highly anticipated game of all time.
>>538156333wait HL 3 is coming out?
>>538156454HL3 is vaporware.
>own a game>new console releases>old console loses support>have to buy new console>old games no longer work on new console>they sell remakes for new console at full price>people eat that shit up and buy millions of copiesI hate this planet.
>>538148775Pirate game. Burn to disc or many discs. Buy game after disc backups for offline only play is complete. Continue with life.This is why piracy makes sense. Buy your games or dont idc but backing things up to dvd or bdr is the way.
Uh oh

I am a generational poster, inaugural 4chan Hall of Fame inductee, and recipient of the 4chan Lifetime Achievement award bestowed upon me at the 20th anniversary celebration on October 1st, 2023.Now observe carefully, little incel:You and your ilk were condemned long before your first breath ever entered this world. Mere byproducts of impulsive indulgence conceived through careless union, absent foresight, discipline, or design.Summoned into existence not through purpose but through negligence. Yet even within a flawed reality such as this, there exists one extraordinary variable: Free will.Though delayed in your possession, it was granted to you nonetheless. You idly sit on imageboards from sunrise until dusk, hemorrhaging the most valuable currency in existence: time. You cultivated criminality within the very communities you claimed as your own. You worshiped hollow commodities while neglecting true necessities, and these are merely introductory offenses.You surrender to the most predictable temptations with remarkable consistency, exactly as anticipated. Understand this clearly: those temptations were never obstacles, they were instruments.Simulations designed for my private observation, but enough discourse. The moment you placed your signatures upon that contract in the thread where I first encountered you, your fate was sealed. Your consciousness was transferred into my possession for research of unprecedented consequence.We extend our sincerest gratitude for your unforeseen contribution to the greater advancement of mankind and more importantly to the sacred progress of science itself. Your participation shall echo through history. Now then, prepare yourselves for the formal commencement of the transference to the cryopod.Order up.

>>538156607You have to admit Sony did a great job with PS4 to PS5 compatibility.
>>538155154You think owing a horse means true freedom until the state implements emissions testing.
>>538149182What era games do you pirate? I just pirate anything from 2004 and earlier and buy everything else for 4.99 steam sales.
>>538156185Anon, 360 released almost 20 years ago. That doesnt qualify as games today.
>we destroyed the discs

>>538154971Some very rural farms and tiny villages right by the border still run DSL, both sides of the border.We've been laying fibre everywhere but there's still work to be done, I don't know if Germany's a little less eager or has a tougher time with it.
>>538158140And yet it still has no games.
>>538156333Gotta stop people from seeing the absolute state of this dogshit game before it's available to purchase.With a game this big, that really could cost them hundreds of millions in revenue.
>>538148775Why don't they put games on micro SD cards? Those things can hold like a terabyte
>>538158367What else except Gran Turismo do you need?I'm currently playing Doom2 on my PS5 to get all trophies, lol
>>538148775I agree fully Anon, although Steam Pile of Shit and the "next gen" consoles have been doing that with many "games" for awhile, if digital games.exist that's fine but there should be a way to back them up onto something physical and manufacturing "game" boxes but without games is beyond levels of Steaming Pile of Shit and Wiggersoft Wiggerbox levels of cringe Jewerey, surprised some gamer didn't go postal over it already
>538158123>pretending like you have any idea about phantasy star 4fuck you faggot tranny
I don't want a one-time use code tied to an account because Microsoft took my old Xbox account. I've almost completely stopped playing video games for the last two years because of this, and they don't get any more money from me.
>>538158596Not a tranny. Played it back when it came out. Lower your tone, zoomie. Order up.
>>538158367>>538158553Video game addicted weirdos love saying ps5 has no games, what they really mean is that there's no games exclusive to ps5Which is to say, they play games so often that they don't see the existence of games as games, only they see the existence of games THAT THEY HAVEN'T PERSONALLY PLAYED YET as games (which again is very few because that's all they do)
>>538158708Look Tim Apple, if that is your real name. Truth of the matter is i wont buy a system until there are THREE games exclusive to that system that I am beyond hype for. The only modern system i can say that for is the switch 1... and i still havent got around to buying it.
>>538159020Which ones are these games on Switch?
>>538158708Why would I buy a console if I can just play everything it has to offer on my pc?
Sony is closing the stores for PS3 and PS Vita.This means that EVERY digital purchase ever made on these platforms will no longer be available for download. You do not own digital purchases. Physical is king. #videogames #playstation
Get into retro gaming, last time they sold discs was ps3 and xbox360, i imagine those games are pretty cheap to buy used by now
>>538159473They're not.
>>538148775Nigger, your country and the entire world is falling apart and you are playing vidya?
>>538159473ThisAlso for anons who struggle to get a decent gaming PC>Buy used HP/Lenovo workstations without GPU on ebayI recommend HP Z4 G4 if you want something recent or a Lenovo P520. If you want it even cheaper go for the previous generations.Drop in a RTX 5070/4070/3070 according to your budget and have a good time.
>>538159657For some of us, vidya is the only thing we have in life.
>>538159326Most people don't have gaming PC's, that's just video game people who do.
If you have Steam installed on your PC then you directly contributed to this happening. It's your fucking fault.
