>>741845457god the lil cube looks so much better
Steamie redditors did permanent damage to online discourse
>>741845457AAAIIIEEE I'M SORRY!!!
>>741845457What do you need a disk drive for? To hold a slip of paper with a digital code for the game you lease?
>>741845457>has a slot for catridges>there is no game on the cartridge you buyThis entire industry needs to crash again
Where do I insert my CD-ROM of Rollercoaster Tycoon that I got out of a cereal box 30 years ago?
>>741849251into a USB DVD drive.
>>741849251You can stick it in your bum bum.
>>741845457the difference is that PC's went physical media free LONG ago, while consoles are still using it.
>>741849161>there is no game on the cartridge you buy...?
>>741849293NOOOOO MY NARRATIVE
>>741845457what were they thinking with that ugly ass PS5 design? imagine how ugly the PS6 will be
>>741849351They designed it so a fat black kid can't make it overheat by stacking shit on top of it while cramming it into a small enclosed space that fucks with airflow.
>>741845457But my pro has a disc drive.It's the only reason to get a console.
>>741845457It's not a console. Digital is pure convenience on PC, unlike console where the user has zero control or freedom and are completely at the mercy of demonstrably shitty corporations that openly tell you you don't even own the console itself anymore.
>>741845457>Throwing in the dick drive and vertical stand to the pro version is still cheaper than the cheapest Steam MachineStill no gaems but This is sad.
>>741849038>What do you need a disk drive for?To play backwards compatible PS4 games.
>>741849805If you aren't allowed to download a portable offline installer you don't owe anything steamgoy.
>>741849330Also that an external USB DVD is cheap these days if you can't just.Ignoring that you can probably just download media-era games off of the web archive these days
>>741849038>"hey mate, I'm done with game, wanna play it? Cool, are you finished with othergame? Cool lets switch"And when you finished that you give it back and fo it again.
>>741845457Why does the PS5 look like the cheapest dehumidifier or fan you can buy at walmart
>>741849161>anon stuck with ADSL in current year+11
>>741849161shitposting like this is why karma raped you with 80 bucks for a code in box for gta6 lmao
>>741850120This shit back in the day was how you did it if your family wasn't well off. Your parents bought you a console and one game. Your homies got different games and you all traded with each other so you got to play everything
>pay more upfront to then play games earlier, but at lower visualsettings>wait a year and then pay more for the game itself, and then a subscription on top to play it if it's multiplayer focusedBoth options suck.
>>741850165Its not about internet speed, its the fact you pay for something and you don't actually get it. 20 years from now you might pull the thing out, pop in a game and realize they shut down store service for that console. You've got a useless cartridge and no game
>>741850238I still do it with some friends even if just buying and downloading is less of a hassle. First it requires to actually meet your friends which becomes a luxury as you get older and you have something to talk about. Also you try games you otherwise wouldn't have touched.
>>741850196Gta 6 is a code in the box because Rockstar is too cheap to run off multiple disks for each copy. They're maximizing profit
>>741845457you don't need a disk drive to pirate any game in existence
>>741849983You can literally just copy the game folder, no install needed. God forbid you might have to take two seconds to use goldberg every once in a while.
>>741850120Chill with the antisemitism.
>>741850420They're too cheap to include even a single disc to at least offset some of the download time.
>>741850546To which I then realized they did that so you can't resell/return the game.
>>741850336this was inevitable for consoles, they've been trying to do this shit in one form or another for over a decade
>>741850120You don't get that anyone with physical media. Didn't you see the news? It's a slip of paper with digital code in a plastic box
>>741850701That's a reason to not get it. If the game is not worth owning I can play it with more frames on PC. If it isn't available to own or on pc, I'll just wait till it hits ps+
>>741850120Nowadays you just put your best bro on your Steam family so they can play whatever you're not actively playing.
>>741845457nigga you can plug in a 20 dollar diskdrive into that thing. most pcs these days ship without one too its all USBs now. how much does a Ps5 disc drive cost on average?
>>741850803Be prepared to become a full time PC gamer then, because all publishers are switching to that model after GTA6Friendly reminder: you do not own the game, unless you have a DRM free installer on your digital device and that's only possible on PC
>>741850336I don't care what happens 20 years from now, I'll prolly sell the cart, sell the console or mod/emulate it by that time
>>741850852Or just one or the other toggle offline and play the same game.
>>741850473Nice ownership.
>>741850852I already do that. But I still don't trust gabe not to fuck up and steal my stuff. So if I rly like a game I want a disc. And preferably a pirated copy or a gog installer just in case.I already see this with my friends who fell for the Spotify meme who are bleeding music.>>741850942I won't get gta6 for several reasons. The code thing I see as them admitting that the game is a desaster and will flood the secondary marketed after the fomo retards bled.I also rarely use the ps5 since there is nothing coming out worth owning.Ah also physical is a consoles steam sales. You often get shit cheap before digital gets the first drop
>>741851234Yeah. If I can't access the files, mod it, back it up, and transfer it to newer PCs I want to use, I don't own it. Ownership is all about control.
>>741851280Disc doesn't exist on PC, and I don't want to be reliant on getting discs for a locked down console that'll be forever before it's reasonably emulated on a PC, and also requiring me to find BD-XL drive that reads PS5 discs that won't break the bank.
Can steamies even play their games offline? Well pschads can!
>>741851583>Can steamies even play their games offline?Yes.
>>741851583didn't PS5 require you to log in every 30 days to play your games?
>>741851885Only for games still in their refund-period window. Otherwise the check-in is set to when PS+ expires.
>>741851583Nope. Because they don't own their games, only a license.
>muh physical >look inside >it's all encrypted data that requires interacting with console DRM to function I'm glad it's dying It's a false idol
>>741850120>here's your game back, bro!
>>741850420The code in a box is because PCjeets will leak it then try to pirat it for izzat saars
>>741850579Sort of they did it to sell 3 copies.>console fags buy it>they buy another physical special copy that has extra special online perks or something (calling it now)>they buy it AGAIN when it comes out on PC for all the whacky modes their streamer friends play (they will never play it).
