Why the fuck do people support physical when 99.999% of physical games get delisted?
what
>>736980442>Why the fuck do people support physical none of your business incel>when 99.999% of physical games get delistedwrong, retard
>>736980536>>736980563How many physical games are no longer sold? Almost all of them.
>>736980752I dare you to find a physical game that is no longer sold on ebay.
>>736980752are you retarded?retroslop for older consoles is available on ebay, gamestop has it and all the vidya stores, modern physical games are, for the most part, actually physical as in the whole game is on the disc with no mandatory updates and no always online requirements, even on ps5for pc it's irrelevant because they just use steam anyway so who cares
>>736980442First, write and post a minimum thousand word essay on your understanding of why physical media matters to people. Then you can ask your retarded question.
>>736980853>>736980893>second handI want a new copy.
>>736981106Cool, I don't care.
>>736981106anon are you autistic or something?if you want a new copy then purchase it at launch/while the generation is still new or recentebay also has plenty of new copies
I'm not even sure this is bait. This might actually be genuine retardation.
>>736981218The eBay ones aren't new. They were manufactured long ago. Like saying a full dozen eggs from 10 years ago are new.And it has to be new, or else it will degrade sooner. Just because it hasn't been used doesn't mean its shelf life starts the moment the plastic is removed.>>736981275How? Where do I buy a brand new physical copy of Call of Duty (2003) for PC? That game sold millions so it shouldn't be delisted.
>>736981319>The eBay ones aren't newthere's plenty of new copies>They were manufactured long agouh yeah, because most games don't get reprints nowadays>Like saying a full dozen eggs from 10 years ago are newretarded food analogy aside, most disc-based games will last for decades, so they are effectively new>And it has to be newyou are retarded>or else it will degrade sooner.so what? do you plan to bring all that plastic shit to the grave with you? do you realize that it will likely outlive you? we don't even know the actual lifespan of optical media, even lab tests with increased degradation speed are inconclusive on thisif you actually wanted to play this game you would have bought it a long time ago instead of making this stupid shit thread>That game sold millionsand?>so it shouldn't be delistedSays who?
>>736980442I got your joke, anon. It made me smile.
>>736981464The fact is, almost all physical is delisted. So why would anyone support this terrible medium?
>>736981627>The fact is, almost all physical is delistedThe fact is, you are retarded and you should stop talking about things you don't understand>So why would anyone support this terrible medium?Actual imbecile
>>736981721Go ahead. Go to your gamestop and count the total number of unique physical games for sale. Then divide that by a guess on how many have ever been made. You will see 99.9% delisted is overly underestimated.
>>736980442I have never had a game break on me, ever, in my over 30 years of playing games. In the rare case something goes wrong with an older system, it's always the system itself. By decoupling the games from the system, I'm insuring myself for 20+ years from now if my current system breaks.
Is it a digitalfag melty
>>736980442Why the fuck do people support digital when they can't even digitize 99% of physical games? What are you supporting?
>>736981870Zoomer larping as boomer. Physical games break all the time because <10 year olds don't take care of shit perfectly, unless they're homosexual.
>>736981106Good luck with older games. Be ready to pay hundreds of dollars for a "new" n64 game
This whole thread is done in bad faith to defend digital slop.Of course nothing lasts for ever, but psychical copy is still tangible and can be moved around, unlike a digital one.Hence why you can still pay 30 year old games, good luck with trying to get a legit copy of a 30 year old digital game.
>>736980442>Obvious joke thread gets filled with angry seemingly unironic arguments.This board really is filled with ESLs and autist holy shit.
>>736980442>99.999% of physical games get delistedyou're thinking of bacteria
>>736983645>good luck with trying to get a legit copy of a 30 year old digital gameThere was only one digital store front in existence that I am aware of that is over 30 years old and they shut down in 2018 and all their games are now free to download.
>>736983815Social media discourse has become so retarded due to purposefully terrible takes being monetized that people just take everything at face value now. Even trolling got dumbed down to the point where retards and casuals can do it.
>>736980442I only know of a scant few physical games you can't buy. Clay fighters, Germ, and maybe a dozen, or so more. You've got this reversed.>>736983815>I was only pretending to be a retard for (you)s Ok.
>>736980442>rows of out of print games being resold Your picture literally contradicts your thread, retard.
>>736981106BAAAAAAAAAASED>just buy a cumstained used copy broNO THANK YOU
>>736980442Physical = ownershipNot in every case but I think you get the point.
I want physical back, surely micro sd cards of decent capacity are affordable now, I'd buy thoseYou will own things and be happy
>>736985624those things are damn expensive now thanks to AI
>>736980442because when a physical game is delusted I can still play itwhen a digital game gets delisted I have to fend off all the hunter-seeker algorithms that try to erase it from my computer, and sometimes one gets through and wipes my whole library, then bans me from the storefront for breaking their EULA
>>736986112>all the hunter-seeker algorithms that try to erase it from my computer, and sometimes one gets through and wipes my whole library, then bans me from the storefront for breaking their EULAthis is not a thing
>>736986198Reminds me of those boomers who think the government can shut down EVs remotely.
