Why? It would be so easy for sony or MS to implement a mandatory online DRM check in to validate you own a disc copy of a game which would essentially defeat the purpose of owning a disc. Just get a PC and either buy on GOG or sail the open seas.

you need to force game studios to make the game work without the gaming client
you need to force them to allow third party servers if they are online multiplayer

and you need the law, to do all of this

the politics will not care

you will be infiltrated by them by people posing to be you

its up to you

correct, only if you undo DRM can you undo all of this
and the only way to do that, is via the state forcing it
studios will all just boycott non-DRM if you leave it to a voluntary basis, until you give in

regulation always lags behind introduction of new technologies

It's a strange thing here. In the 2000s all the Ebgames were going were changing to Gamestops. Then the changes stopped. 2010s they all changed, then last year some Canadian outfit took over all Canadian operations and renamed to Ebgames again. Gay thing is though no more free shipping. Have to be one dumb kike to charge for something every other retailer including the indie ones provide for free after a certain amount.

Its basically always a scam. Its like "high end" AV cables that they charge 10x the normal price for and claim it'll deliver the cleanest signal, but its a digital cable so there's error correction and shit built into the hardware so you can run the signal through a coat hanger and get the same signal. It works solely because some costumers just assume that the store wouldn't lie to them and if it costs extra it must be worth it while they also have no way of checking. Meanwhile this is what the store actually makes money on because they upcharge the shit out of cables.

Rental car insurance is another scam a lot of the time. Tons of people renting cars already have auto insurance and it often covers rentals but they don't know that and the rental company obviously never mentions to check your existing policy and sell you an insanely high mark uped insurance policy where they make most of their money.

there was a new blu ray disc that held 100 gbs but snoy stopped producing them or manufacturing the players. i wouldn't be surprised if theft vi is over 200 gbs anyways, i just hope I'll be able to download it without a ridiculous amount of lag from all the other shitskins buying the game.

>>544995865
Physical discs today are effectively just a digital download code on a disc or a hardware dongle. Even with a disc, a lot of games won't play unless it can download updates and connect to servers.
The issue isn't physical media, it's all the DRM and licensing bullshit.
Buying DRM-free games on GOG and downloading copies is better than buying physical discs that still require online connectivity to activate and play the game.

That would be a video stream. An encoded av1/h264 or whatever, basically just a mosaic picture of the final result. You have no access to the internal game data from this, what you mean is maybe it could make a forgery or simulation of what the final result looks like

Snoy is still producing BDs for now. They'll probably stop soon after PS5 discs are gone in 2028. They have already discontinued the sale of blank BDs for sale, and most recently announced they'll be halting production of 4k blu-ray players. They're going all in for an all digital PS6 for all their home media.

I'm not a retard. I'm talking about the download stream, of course if it's a video stream you're not going to get any game data from that. I'm well aware.

Of course the goal is most likely to push everything in the direction that Google tried to do with Stadia where you have no access to the data.
