This means you can’t pass the game around to your friends or sell it afterwards, which completely ruins the purpose of physical media imo. I mostly play PC these days so this doesn’t affect me, but it’s a disappointing direction for console games. At least they could’ve used an empty disc that has proof of ownership.
Agreed. I hate this trend but unfortunately with leaks and corporate greed, ownership of anything is going to be rarer as time goes on. Might as well enjoy what we do get to own nowadays.
At least we still have GOG
I’m feeling less cynical actually. Online stuff is convenient as hell and if they do anything dumb there’s always pirating, which is easy as ever. And fediverse based solutions too.
I dunno man seeing the fediverse finally gaining traction has me feeling optimistic and excited. Feels like internet in the 90s and 2ks
