*Kills digital games*
They also applied it to the PS4.
why the hell would you ever buy digital on a console in the first place? the entire point is owning physical games, otherwise a PC is strictly better in every way.
>>737651885True but Playstation in particular is trying to phase out physical games by selling consoles without the disc drive.And now it seems they're trying to destroy the whole benefit of digital games.So nobody really knows what the fuck they're doing anymore.
>>737651885The ecosystems these companies have put in place have damn near made physical pointless for over a decade now. Nintendo, being the slowpokes that they are, are just now "catching up" with game-key cards. Discs have just been installers since the PS4.
>>737651885convenience probably. weirdly physical copies are still cheaper than digital but it is how it is
>>737652062The Sony of today is the Microsoft of the late 00s/early 10s. They have the winning walled garden for normalfags, now you're seeing what they do with it.
>>737652197Companies really cannot be trusted under any circumstance can they?
>>737652114>Discs have just been installers since the PS4.I've heard this countless times but I've always installed my games from disc offline and only ever went online for a patch a few days later. So are you a shill, or are you just gobbling down misinformation willingly?
>>737651730Sony truly is fighting to become the shittiest console in the market, huh
>>737651885Dragon's Crown is not available in physical form for PS4.
>>737652275>I've always installed my discs from games offlineFor me, that's already the problem. The advantage of physical in my eyes is that I don't have to waste hard drive space on the game itself. When you have to install it anyways, it's just digital with extra steps and a bit of plastic to show for it.
>>737652505I'm fine with discs being an installer so long as the discs themselves can continue to work.I'd rather they not need to install though, yeah.
Allegedly it wasn't planned and should be fixed soon. Something similar happened a few years back
>>737652505Always been weird that they force install for every game. Like small indie games should have no issue just running off the disc. Also annoying they only print ps5 onto uhd blurays regardless of file size so you end with 1 gb games on a 50gb disc
>>737652573It's not that it's inherently cancerous or anything, but if it works that way then I don't see the practical use of a physical release. I loved platfoms like Vita and Switch going into the 10s in part because physical releases still worked that way. That shit's all but a dead artform now.
>>737651885how the fuck did people not learn their lesson after all the dumbest good goys paid jewtendo out the ass for the privilege of downloading old ROMs on the wii virtual console just for them to pull the service
>>737651730Le>How to force people to turn on their console every monthstrategy.
>>737652897Most people do daily, they just want them connected to the net.>Digital ID rolling out.>All governments scrambling to collect as much data as possible.>The weirdly obsessive push for AI It's all part of a big scheme to make people connected to the net 100% of the time.
>>737652756I agree. I see the value in running larger games off an install, but I'm also a proponent of just not having fuckhueg filesizes to begin with. Smaller stuff still comes out that could run off a disc just fine but there's hardly any support for that practice anymore.
>>737651885>why the hell would you ever buy a PlayStation or Xbox in the first place?Fixed that for ya
>Was literally just about to buy Wild Arms off PSN>They pull this.Oh a pirate's life for me.
why are pclards and tendies so obsessed with sony?they do anything and the whole catalog is spammed by disgusting pc cucks as if anyone of them was actually affected by this>>737652296literally wrong, keep coping
>>737652756>Always been weird that they force install for every gameI believe ps4 onwards disc drives can't spin fast enough for what most video games need. People forget that every pre gen 8 disc based console has had disc drive issues all the gen 6 consoles disc drives are failing now
>>737653168Up until today, PS4 has stood as a baseline decent purchase for the better part of a decade. Nothing outstanding but nothing offensive either, you got what you paid for. I don't know what the fuck they were going for with PS5, and I was never able to understand how Microsoft thinks with Xbox.
>>737653620My PS2 disc drive has fucked up but I've never had a Gamecube fuck up on me.
Fake newsSony were trying to fix an exploit and this is just a bug
I've been buying games digitally since 2008 and I've literally never had a single problem
>>737653935Well now you will.
At least we know this data's in good hands and Sony secured from any and all hacks.
>>737653892Still wouldn't forgive that they have a working implementation for this horseshit a button press away.
>>737651730Nobody who cares about game preservation or digital freedom owns a cucksole or buys anything from their walled gardens, so who cares? Let the niggercattle be.
Was thinking about getting a digital-only PS6 Canis, not anymore. I'll just fully wait on the Switch 2 OLED and Steam Deck 2, that's it after that.
it's a bugfuck off with your lies
>>737654307Letting things be is the problem. The reason Microsoft didn't get away with this shit with the Xbone is because they moved too fast and too aggressively with it. They had the normalfag platform and squandered it. Sony's waited some 15 years, reworked their infrastructures in the meantime, and now that they're in Microsoft's old shoes they get to try with time and wisdom on their side. 10 years ago, this would be Xbone 2.0. Today, they won't see that same pushback.
>>737654463A bug isn't this detailed, I ain't waiting until they eventually roll this out. PlayStation and Xbox are cancer.
>>737654463It's not a bug, it's a test to see how people would react. A bug doesn't have a menu icon, a well-working timer and track how long you've been offline as well as this does.
Mine is always connected to the internet. It could check for my license every minute.
>>737651885It's called not being poor. Poor peple like you don't get it.
>>737651885because the console literally doesn't come with a disc drive?
>>737654554>X is doing Y is doing Z yadda yadda yaddaWhat part of not having the cucksole don't you understand?
>>737652289they already were, so I don't know why they are trying so hard.
>>737651730we need digital ownership rights and protections - cause currently we have none, SKG is not even addressing the whole issue - its not games, all digital ownership is a scam
>>737655610yeah I guess nobody else deserves to have shitty, spotty internet or choose not to connect because YOU have no problems.
>>737655610There's no good reason for them to implement the check at all.
>>737651730More likely to kill Sony than digital games
>>737651730>kills their physical games >kills their digital games >snoys will still pretend this is good for them
>DRM isn't applied to purchases prior to its roll-outso literally why ?its clear that software didn't need and still doesn't need this of sony are still going to allow you to download games you bought before the requirement, so literally why ?
>>737658196Can't kill what you don't have
>>737654463me standing outside your house menacingly with a baseball bat but not using it is just me being a friendly neighbour
>>737658236Because an angry mob would burn their headquarters down if they applied it retroactively, and that would be them getting off easy. I'm no lawyer, but retroactively applying that standard to a decade plus worth of digital purchases with zero transparency has to be some kind of illegal.
>>737658397>Because an angry mob would burn their headquarters down if they applied it retroactively, and that would be them getting off easy.people are okay with known pedo billionaires who want to extinct 98% of the human populace openly putting their plans into action but would draw the line at a video game company ripping them off ?people aint gonna do shit but bitch like they always do.
>>737658397>has to be some kind of illegal.Everyone's doing illegal shit these days.Presidents and Prime Ministers openly lie and refuse to do what they promised upon being voted in.Swarming the country with illegal immigrants for easy extra votes+create dissent among the people to have them duke it out while you watch also takes the notice off of geoengineering, poison chemicals being sprayed on foods and systematic erasure of farmland to create food scarcity.Corporations are also taking any excuse they can get to hike prices until nobody can afford anything, actively sabotaging their own businesses for no discernable reason.Not to mention illegal immigrants are getting out of jail in 30 days for gang rape of minors while anyone acting racist toward them for doing that is put in jail for years.I sincerely believe everyone has either gone retarded, or are actively trying to end the world.
>>737658307heh

>>737651730keep killing games
Digitalcucks deserve all the hell brought upon them.>b-b-butdon't care, burn.
>>737659242DRM-free digital > everything elseno one can stop me from copying my DRM-free games as much as I want
