it's not just about the physical copies, it's about avoiding this becoming reality

Shit's funny because the same day they claim the servers are going to go down and digitalfags will lose everything, they'll lose access to day 1 updates which will render their physical collection full of flawed games with bugs. If the game got a free expansion later, it's now lost media too.

the alternative is being attached to your onine account then someday these companies decide you don't need to access that account for some reason.

If you updated your game the update won't just disappear unless you delete it.

>>743341142
the alternative is called "archiving"

r/edditors have made an archive of pretty much every console game made before 2005, every version from every region and yet manchilds attatch themselves to overpriced plastic

ok? i have cartridges and dumped my own games so what? still better than an online account.
>>
A couple of 3 years ago I threw out all of my games because having a bunch of boxes and carts around didn't spark joy. Any game I want to play I can just emulate or pirate. In hindsight I should have kept my PC games especially my command and conquer ones because the boxes were actually cool. Just thought you'd like to know. Thanks for asking.

Basically a marketing scheme, consolebabbies are too retarded to understand digital media so companies have to give something physical out to them so they can feel a sense of owning

When in reality what you own are what are able to download, which is why piracy should always be protected even if you are the person who likes buying games
>>
>shitty console games you can hold in your hand
>even shittier console games you don't even own
The only reason to have a cucksole and soiny decided to take it away. I can still play my gameboy and ps2. I bet you a gorrillion dollars in 20 years I'll still have my games I can replay as much as I want, and your ps6 will be a door stopper
