Are you guys really gonna let companies kill physical disc gaming just like that?
Sure, I don't care about discs
what do i care i play on pcwe haven't had physical for 20 years
The big thing is we can still run whatever we want on our machines, including copies of games we store on any kind of our media. You did this, by choosing the console.
>>744676612Only retards play on console.
>>744676612I've done my part, I still buy physical.But physical collectors are a dying breed apparently.
As long as piracy exists, I will never give one single fuck about physical media
>>744676612I cared more about those game booklets that came inside the boxes, once they got rid of them I stopped caring about physical
>>744676612Love this catto. He reminds me of myself.
>>744676612Anon, I haven't even seen a video game store in years. My local Gamestop closed, and I'd rather not deal with Walmart at all if you know what I mean.
>>744677526I'm old enough to remember them, they were great. Nice artwork, and sometimes they had character bio's, maps.
>>744676612Digital downloads are objectively better so, not my problem.
>>744676612The last people that tried to revolt got shot face down on the pavement in Minneapolis.
>>744676612please make this meme slightly higher IQ by making it so he's watching Nascar
>>744676612I can store orders of magnitude more games on a hard drive for a fraction of the space that a stack of discs takes up, so yeah I will let them because I don't care
>>744676612>you guysSo, what did you do to stop this? Piss and moan on the videogames board?
>>744676612the fixation on physical is a misunderstanding of the actual issue being DRM free media.
Console plebs get what they deserve.
Most adults switch to PC by the time they graduate highschool and get a job.
>>744676612Sorry, the gaming industry outfoxed us by making games no one wants in any format.
>>744676612i do not care anymore.
>>744676612What do you want us to firebomb them or some shit? I'm already not buying a playstation.
I don't play new video games
I haven't even bought a physical game since 2018. I'm not mentally ill so I have no desire to hoard plastic.
OP is right, nothing will change unless we gamers take a stand against anti-consumer practices.To this effect I hereby solemnly swear that I never buy a PS5 game ever again.
>>744679636Have fun getting all your games stolen from you when the servers shut down.
I buy on gog and burn my own disks. I like making cases and artwork.
>>744680418Still hasn't happened in any meaningful way to any (good) game. Even if it does happen, I can just pirate if I desperately need to play that game again 10+ years later.>but why pay if you're just going to pirate?Because I'm not brown, so I give money to people who make games that I enjoy, in the hopes that they make more games that I enjoy.
>>744676612>stop buying the goyslop>WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY? The goyim deserve it, they are 100% right about the goyim.
YesI’m not a paranoid sperg so I enjoy all the benefits of digital and don’t care about the microscopic chance my games will be made unavailable in my lifetime
>>744676612All the good parts of physical gaming is already dead on consoles, so it doesn't matter.>no more manuals>switch already resorted to key cards for a good chunk of games>still have massive patches required to boot the game>a lot of the time, only a portion of the actual game is on the disc>games are a buggy mess and NEED the day one patch in a lot of instanceswe're long gone from plug and play.thankfully piracy allows me to both own my games, and take advantage of the convenience of digital.
>>744676612Why would I care? I realized that consoles are cuck boxes a long time ago and switched to the only platform where there's any semblance of freedom
CDs and DVDs suckBlurays are turbo cancer if you know the specThere is no magical "You own this more if it's on a CD" it was simply less practical for them to harass you or brick your shit in 2001.This is entirely a modern consolefag issue because even most people who play shit on retro consoles just slap a cheap hard drive in them and use homebrew to run isos because disks suck.
>>744677034
>>744684984Strictly speaking, that's wrong since PC users actually have a choice regarding storage medium.Disks fell off because they suck.
There's nothing particularly important about pieces of plastic that carry digital data. You have commodity fetishism in possibly the most literal sense.I do care about other things like being able to hack/homebrew/modify/repair your device. You should control your hardware. Piracy should be easy and ideally copyright should be abolished or seriously curtailed. And I think the SKG thing was good. But it also shows you the fate of this kind of concern, even as misplaced as plastic fetishism is. Capital doesn't give a fuck about what you want. It will buy off the state and it will ignore you and successfully propagandize your peers because most gamers are subhuman cattle who deserve nothing.Sorry.
>>744686546Copyright fundamentally is fine.It is obvious on its face why you can't make a billion copies of other people's shit and completely destroy the incentive structure around making anything.The problem is these days copyright do practically nothing about ensuring a patron is not being defrauded trying to pay for media by an illegitimate owner and it was never in the scope of copyright that anyone who produced any media ever basically owned anyone who even so much as looks at it, and even the lawyers arguing this don't believe it.
>>744677526>buy skyrim pc shortly after release>comes with a folded map of the countryI miss it
>>744687056The idea that an idea should be alienable property is absurd on its face. Ideas and information are not rivalrous. I cannot steal an image you post. You still have the image. The current structure of perpetual copyright vested in IP holding companies is a direct consequence of the idea of ideas-as-property. For the vast majority of human history, nobody needed to be granted a perpetual rent extraction license on ideas they could plausibly claim to have created in order to create ideas and art.It's a bad idea. Trademarks and moral rights are fine. Patents and copyrights are possibly the most Jewish and anti-cultural ideas ever invented.
Tendies and snoys are both cvcks. Microshart was releasing consoles without disc slots last I checked.You will own nothing and he happy.
>>744687386If you're going to ignore my post and complain about copyright as it currently exists like that's at all what I was talking about don't bother replying you retarded nigger.
Consoles have become too American for me to care. Pretty much all games needing day one patches also defeats the purpose.
>>744687817But the old situation no longer obtains and the idea structure that the old situation and the original system of copyright generated IS the new system. It's like saying you could fix America by going back to the original Constitution. No you couldn't! That created what we have now!
>>744687920Kill yourself
>>744687949No u
>>744676612>Locked down goybox that monopolises sales on its platform and makes internent access a paid subscription>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T TAKE MY DISCERINOOSSSSSS!!!!deserved.
>>744676612let them? the industry is dying. ending physical media is part of their last ditch efforts to scrounge up profits.
gosh I really miss disc swapping
