>>743423502if you're in your 30s then yeah you're about the age when grankids will start spawning
negative IQ incel replies
>>743423498I can pay for my kid just fine at 36/hr. Now sure why people complain so much about this.
>>743423498Funny, poor people can afford them just fine
>>743423347>steamie jeet still mad
>>743423347Your grandkids will throw it in the dumpster with your funkopops and body pillows
>>743423347My Steam collection is coming along great. My children and grandchildren will love it
>>743423347As well as Noelle's!
>>743423347>True ownershipCan I turn it into a zip file and distribute it online then?
zoomers and alphas already don't give a shit about old media, the next generations will care even less
>>743423614I'm a Volcel chad
>>743423815China is socialist and EU/Shartmerica are capitalist dystopian shitholes that will delete your games once that fat fuck kicks the bucket and Valve inevitably gets shut down or sold >>743423836>Can I turn it into a zip file and distribute it online then?Yes you can.
>>743423674Well that puts you above 76% of all other people in America, unless you were just joking in a "not my problem" manner.>>743423717Poors just follow an r type reproductive strategy; shit out kids and don't care for them that much.
>>743423815glory to the CPC
>leaving digital games to your grandkids>need to leave your password and email and emails password with them as well>a year after you died, your email was deleted for inactivity>it asks for sms>your phone number was given to someone else, they can no longer receive it>they contact the store that you bought *your* digital games from>they ask them to verify security questions they don't know or outright ban them for trying to access your account, even with your permisson (it violates their policy)All this compared to>Hey grandpa had some vidya games in his closet!Digitial is cucked and soulless.
>"you have true ownership of your video games!!!"<reverse engineer the game and make a crack that bypasses the DRM and distribute it online>"WHAT.THE.LE FUCK YOU CAN'T DO THAT CHUD"
>>743424151Valve drones will defend this
>>743424151I can put all the pirated games and emulator files on an external drive and give them thatSo what's so complicated about this
>>743424375>your grandchildren go to prison for illegally accessing stolen gamesWay to go, gramps!
>>743423347Nobody cares about consoles older than 2 generations lol. All these games are gonna be tossed the moment you die. The best you can do is sell it to someone else so he's left holding the bag
>>743423347 >Give my retro games to my grandkids in 40 years>ew unc, what is this zing zong goyslongos
>>743423863Das rite, we millennials wuz all watching movies like À bout de souffle in highschool
The people who collect physical games never actually play anything, they're just posers who like the "I'm an epic gamer!" aesthetic. Good riddance, hope normies invade some other hobby now.
>give my physical connection to my kids >they sell it at best or throw it to the trash at worsecool
>>743423347My SNES is missing the gasket in the back where the AC adapter plugs in and doesn't work anymore. None of my TVs can take the video input from the N64. My GameCube is missing the power adapter entirely. The DS left bumper and touch screen don't work consistently. The Xbox is red-ringing. The PlayStation 1 and 2 laser can't read discs anymore. The PlayStation 4 controllers all drift or have phantom inputs. I have a large physical game collection (and children) but the ability to play any of them is already gated by time and money to fix or replace the hardware, which will only become more impossible in the future. I was never happier than when consoles stopped being a thing in my life and everything existed at my fingertips on PC - and if it breaks it'll all be waiting on the next one.
>>743424898That's the sad reality with everything when it comes to inheritance>here is this gold necklace your mother owned - it was very important to her cause it was the first thing your dad gave her"Cool - gonna pawn that shit and buy myself a PS6"Some things like houses hold some more value and people generally don't just throw them away - but even there you have cases where kids just sell the family riches in order to party and booze for some time.Some will say this is just bad parenting and that the parents who see their stuff get thrown away deserve it. But the reality is that this even happens with seemingly normal families. Cause your kids have no attachment to those old consoles. They have their own things they are nostalgic about. Unless you raised your son to be a mega retro lover he won't give a shit.
Your kids are gonna sell that shit for a smartphone. The only toy that you pass on to the next generation of young children is lego.
My physical games are going to the grave with me
>>743423347none of those systems are going to work in 50 years
>>743425273Half of them likely already stopped working.
>>743423836Can you do that with the car you own?
>>743423347The oast game I bought from Gamestop was Skyrim in 2012. I opened it up and got a download code for Steam, a platform I had never heard of.I subsequently never bought fron Gamestop again.
>>743423674I could have kids at minimum wage or even without moving out. I know people who do. But I’m not making the sacrifices. I’m too selfish to want them. all money will be for my video games not their video games
>>743423347I never played any of my grandparents favorite games on their original hardware. I just googled "NES games free" and played them in the browser. Nowadays these sites have advanced so much you can even play PS1 games. By the time my grandkids come out there will probably be a site that runs Elden Ring.
Isn't Gamestop just a funko slop seller? Reeks of desperation.
>>743425273You just fix it.
>>743423347About as good as my Wal-Mart collection.Or my McDonald's collection.Or did you mean to say "PC game collection" and accidentally said a store?
>>743423347These faggots were literally destroying old games since they thought they wouldn't be profitable, now they're acting like the saviors of physical.FUCKing GameStop>>743423836You actually can if you have a way to rip them, it's easier if they're discs. Distributing it online would be risky OFC.
>>743423347my ten year old nephew with "gaming 4 life" scribbled on his bedpost saw my collection of 1000+ games and just looked at me like i was a weirdo
>>743426162Cause he's jealous.
>>743423347>How's your Steam collection coming along?Pretty good, it's really easy to archive offline copies with steam emus and cracks.
is releasing a digital only AAA game a smart idea?
>>743423347>pass on my hard drive>consolekeks reeee over it and claim that doesn't count as their physical shit inevitably dies and the corporation that sold it to them lock down everything as hard as possible to ensure that happensGet fucked, drm shitboxes.
>>743425693They actually lose a ton of money on the Funkos. Most sit there and quite literally rot on the shelves because no one's interested in the basic ones. What most collectors are looking for at this stage are the exclusives which stores only get if they order ridiculous quantities. It's basically the IRL version of gacha games. They have to take 10,000 pieces of garbage to get one exclusive deal. The standard ones are perpetually 'on sale' and BOGO but only if you have a Pro membership which actually used to be a decentish deal until a few years ago. That's when they nerfed the points and coupons and introduced their store credit card which the cashiers are trained to sign you up for without asking. All of the fake debt they illegally rack up in people's names is the true source of Gamestop's value as a company these days.
>>743423347no point having all that plastic junk when one pc will play all the games at higher quality and with all the games on small as fuck ssds/hdds.
>>743423498Maybe we should have digital kids instead
>>743423347>grandkidsfunny enough my little sister, some of my friends and a nephew are all in my Steam family and we're all sharing most of our games together... well mostly me but i'm happy to share.I always gotta remember to private whenever i buy a lewd game
>>743423502FLINTSONE
>>743425273Bullshit N64s still work to this day
>>743425273Pff my pc is more than 20 yrs old and still works like a charm, so my snes, my n64 and ps3.
>passing down a bunch of old plastic to your kidsNo wonder the newer generations are poor as dicks
>>743426849Plenty of my consoles have already died. I've even had three gamecubes and not only have they all been fucked, but even their memory cards got fucked before they did. People have dead consoles and games sitting on their shelves and they don't even realize it because they don't ever actually bother booting them up again since they've been left behind to die, they just like to look at them and think shit still works.
>>743427201Yuuup. Same here. Also every disc game I have is scratched to death and won't play anymore.
The only way ill ever even have kids is if I win the lottery anyway
>>743426849>20 years is fine therefore 70 years will also be fineretard alertlook up what a half life is
My entire Skylanders collection is fucked. Turns out you're not supposed to leave the figures in direct sunlight.
>>743425273Entirely depends on the hardware.There is no reason why your SEGA Genesis should not work 100 years later. There aren't really any obvious big failure points.Meanwhile a NES hardly ever lasted 15 years without the need for repair. Mostly because of cheaper compenents - especially the cartridge reader is dogshit.Same with early CD-based systems like the SEGA MegaCD or PS1 - if you find one used these days they probably got their laser replaced atleast twice.
>>743423863Not true at all some of them are the ones invigorating renewed interest in BD releases
>>743423347what if i just give my steam account? would be cool to play on such a old account and see what people used to play
>>743427768Silicon, dumbass It's not made to last, it's literally just scratching extremely tiny details into a plate of refined sandIt doesn't last forever
>>743423815
>>743423347I have kids and thought about this a lotSo lets share!>buy vidya, sell some buy some back>spend most of my life playing and buying games>my library is large enough to give you about 36 years of playtime>library will still get a bit larger >30 to 40 years later I will die>my oldest would be pushing 45>if he has kids, they're pushing 10 to 15>"Hey kid, heres 289 original xbox games and a console grandpa left, they are 70 years old">Oh boy! Thanks dad! Cant wait to throw that into the trash.Our kids are not us, no matter how much we want them too. My grandpa left a 1k+ vhs collection of shit he recorded.Do you think anybody watched that shit or go through the hastle of finding out that 1 in 1000 vhs tape that "worth" something? In the best case 80 bucks? Nah man, into the trash
>>743424151>get account >change credentials >account now under your control its so easy to completely shut down and BTFO retards here that it barely gives any satisfaction
>>743427970Nothing lasts forever. But many things can outlive you and your kids easily.Like most discs for example. Blurays and modenr DVDs easily last over 100 years as long as you don't live in a swamp or expose them directly to potential hazards.This goes for consoles as well. Even oldass shitty Atari silicon from 1980 generally doesn't cause any problems. If consoles fail its usually the disc readers , cartridge readers or capacitors.
>>743426059>Can't share something I own with my friendsWhere's my true ownership?
Digital is soulless why the fuck would I even want a steam account when I could just pirate anyway?Digital has no inherent worth cause you can just copy paste.
>>743423347>Retard pretending you cant just pirate old games online for free.>Or that your grandkids will give 2 fucks about grampa games when they can play mind-rot or flavor of the month games.
>>743426503Nigga steam is free just buy Hgames on a 2nd account
>>743428186>1980you do know that modern silicon has drastically shorter lifespan right?you're drawing ever tinier details on that die that have even less of a failsafe from degradation
>>743423347someone explain to me why inheriting accounts is against steam tos?
Its still losing another slice of ground to GOG every week. That yacht molester needs to learn to update games only if and when I say so.
>>743429018Because they sold the licence to #450325 and not some #1000001 child
>>743429018You bought the license (you own nothing), not them
>>743423347GamestopThis same company that if I took something to them (x-men children of the atom saturn version) would only offer 5 bucks in trade. Then would resell that copy in their store for 80-150Yeah no fuck GaySlop
>>743428950>you do know that modern silicon has drastically shorter lifespan right?Good thing modern hardware also doesn't have any sort of actual value behind itYour PS5 broke? Who cares - it doesn't have any games anyway - just grab a budget PC if you wanna play your games. And there are a dozen different bluray players out there for you to choose from for your movies.
>>743423815i need to forge some kind of contract to destroy my account when I dieI am not leaving anything for any opportunist cunt
>>743423347I don't want kids
>>743423674It's cope from lefties. People aren't having kids because it's too inconvenient and restrictive on your lifestyle, not because it's too expensive. People were having children in fucking warzones, cost has never been a realistic factor
>>743429764> People were having children in fucking warzonesshitskin that need western help for fucking food*and now you will remember what is also geting forced into society :)
Having kids is basically time suicide. Good luck enjoying your life for 20+ years lol
yeah I am sure gaben has the HL3 budget spend on guys checking the obituaries meticulously worldwide, and makes sure no body dares to leave his log-in/pass to someone in the last will!
>>743429764>cost has never been a realistic factorGood luck breeding a girl (willingly) without 4 vacations a years and the newest shiny toys as her "basic expectations"
>here son this is my username and password for my steam accountIs that so hard?
>>743430139Valve will check after reasonably you are dead, the moment your son can't give them valid documents they will purge the account. They already stated that. You cannot pass your steam library to other people after you die.
>>743429764Men still want kids. Because men are genetically programmed to do that.Women meanwhile are programmed to not breed until they have the best suited male in the bag. Which never happens in our modern society because our society is trying its best to get them away from kids.>you need to focus on your career>no man wants a dumb uneducated stay at home wife>look at all the 10/10 gigachads you could have do not settle for THAT guy at work you can do SO MUCH betterAnd then the girl is 40 years old and her ovaries dried up. And the men are angry cause no one wants to start a family.
>>743423347>How's your Steam collection coming along?Let me explain again why you can buy digital games on a PC but not on consoles, using an analogy with books.>buy an ebook on a PC>open it in your favorite software>send it to print>bind the pages around a hardcover>you have a "real" book in your hands!>Buy an ebook on a console(you can only get as far as the step above)
>>743426447based princess maker enjoyer
>inherit old hardware that don't work no morevs>inherit a giant digital game library with tons of trophies and cosmetics
>>743429764The problem is that retards (browns) will have children without thinking about their future. But midwits (most whites) can be psyoped into thinking about the children's future too much. Thinking that your child needs swanky gadgets and a 50000000000k college degree and 200 dollers a bottle babygoy feed and to pay for the circumcision if you have a son, etc.Personally for me, I won't have kids because I can't find a woman I don't want to strangle to death. I'd love to have a child to impart wisdom upon and care for the wellbeing of, but unless I can afford to kidnap a broad, chain her in my basement, and keep her there until she births my baby boy/girl, I don't see it happening.
>>743430296Incel babble
If I leaving the world anything at this point, someone was clearly careless enough to grant me access to fissile materials.
You need a shit ton of firearms to leave to your grandkids, not shitty plastic toys considering the trajectory we're one.
>>743430447>trophiesFaggot alert
Obviously my grand kids will care about my game collection just like my daughter cares about the wii full of games we found in the basement she does not give a single fuck…
>>743423347>shilling for fucking gamestopWhat went so wrong in your life.
>>743430540Yeah sure bro. Give your kid the family suicide revolver
>>743423347>falling for gamestop marketingHow dumb do you have to be?A hard drive is a phsyical thing and your boxed copy of Concord wont run either way
>>743430468You write shit like this online and wonder why you don't have a gf
>>743423815The Han... I kneel...
>>743430603I can tell you're a europoor
>>743424451Do you think they had video games in 1984?
>>743423347PC only fags are degenerates who won't have kids and only serve themselves.
>>743423347You know damn well those kids aren't going to play your 50+ year old games after you die. They're going to try to sell it online or just throw it in the garbage and go back to playing whatever mobile shit is popular at that time.
They can get their own computer, why do I have to bequeath mine to them on death?
