Physical is the only way to own a game

I’ve never understood this argument. A disk is the storage media for the perpetual license. You don’t own the disk. You own the data on the disk. That’s not copyright fagging. Put that shit somewhere safe. You bought that shit, if you have to torrent it later, do it, it’s morally yours

You want to know where my copy of Stalker from 2007 is safest? On my hard drive, nice and snug. Put it there nigga. Mount an ISO why are you spinning a piece of plastic 700 times a minute and calling it secure.

Disk guy in 2024 is like a dude with a flintstones car feeling safe and sound that the Jews can’t cut his breaks. I mean I guess he’s right at least but sheesh just buy a Buhonka or Hilux or an old Jeep.
 
One thing I thought was interesting about the Concord game was that it actually had a physical disc.

Evidently, I was one of the retards who purchased Fallout 76, and despite being a physical release, it has a cardboard disc inside the case. I loved the gameplay of Fallout 4 and knew 76 was just an extension of 4, but what really made me purchase Fallout 76 was Bethesda promising to release it as an offline game within one year of it's release. Instead of an offline release, we got that subscription instead at the one year anniversary. Isn't modern gaming great? Are you all excited for Elder Scrolls VI?

The video of Styxhammer666 groping the girl on his livestream literally made my spine and back tense up watching it. Like I felt myself physically recoil watching it from the cringe. I can watch people get their head crushed into pieces, cops being stabbed to death, people burning alive and I do not have the same visceral reaction I just got watching that. This is not a joke post I'm dead serious.
 
Just how anonymous is gumroad compared to patreon?

because ai and ml have quintupled the demand for gfx cards? is this a trick question?

Even when crypto went to shit and before AI demand ramped up prices didn't go down, there are only 2 players in town now and gamers have made it clear they'll pay out the ass for an extra 1 fps and less pixelated titties rather than stick with their old GPU until prices go down.

Any attempts at making an offline mod? because I couldn't find any on nexus.

I can resell my physical copy of Metroid Prime Collection for a very pretty penny. Your copy of Stalker is worth less than the hard drive it's stored on, not to mention the ebay auction would be taken down immediately

If you can't sell it, you don't own it. Steam has eroded this right into nothingness for the sake of convenience and PC gamers ate it up all up like niggercattle. Meanwhile when first Sony (PSP Go) and MS (original Xbone) tried that shit they paid a heavy price for it. On the flipside the PS4 won because of that "this is how you share a PS4 game" video.

However, they waited a couple of years for more consoomers to lap it up and here we are with physical being the less prevalent option, and people arguing that discs are for grandpas. Fuck it then. While i find the steamdeck nice, it's lack of physical media makes it a no go for me. If Nintendo eshews carts in Switch 2, that'll be the end for me.

My dude you are reliant on a literal box designed to milk as much money out of you as possible, you spend more money per month paying Xbox for the right to use your internet than you would reselling games

Imagine never installing a mod, never trying before you buy, having no right to use your own internet, and still turning to someone whose games are completely free of any DRM, on any device, and asking him if he’d like to be free, because you have no control over your actual files

Literally just learn to pirate nigga god damn
 
My Xbox has a disk drive because it’s a fucking glorified blue ray player because all Blu-ray players are universally shit.

Never bought an Xbox physical game and only bought a few digital ones on deep discount.

If they delete my $5 copy of bonerlands I will mourn it for the appropriate time period (fifty five fucking years, who the fuck does Gates think he is).
