Legally speaking, he is right.

The thing is, physically has historically impossible to enforce without physical inter ention which generates the ownership that we see currently.

[Prism @fwprism]

Asmongold goes OFF, saying "It's mind boggling that people still don't understand this. No matter whether it's physical or digital, you never truly own it” after people complained about "having" less ownership following Sony's PlayStation decision to move away from physical media copies 👀😬

“This is what makes me so mad about this just because you buy a digital version doesn't mean that you should be giving up any of your consumer rights. And this concept and this dichotomy between physical and digital editions they are just almost assumed that you have less ownership of them is bullsh*t. It is a false dichotomy that has been created by companies in order to give you the illusion that you have control. Whenever you buy a disc of something, but the disc is running on software, they can choose not to run the program”

El asunto es que se van porque mataron el formato físico, esto estivo planeado...

Lo q estas viendo son la gente qcse estan fihando en los detalles. Las plataformas digitales no son iguales.

[✨🉐 ＫＩＣＩ-ＫＵＮ 🍥🌔 @Kici_Kun]

Va sonar mamon lo que voy a decir pero, literal dejan una plataforma digital para irse a otra plataforma digital...

¿No estabamos tratando de salvar el formato fisico? 😒

@svendgertarne @BAestheticMan A "party size" bag of chips... you're not supposed to eat that alone.

Random anime post:
I gotta love when Isolde goes like: "Yea, that Rudeus has to be someone imaginary" and gets someone to investigate

and the guy just goes: "it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. The mfer is famous."

But it does... pretty much anything written for windows mostly runs with little patches, my Diablo 2(2000) discs still work pretty well.

And anything MS Dos you can get working via Dropbox, but ironically... The newer generations are more tech iliterate so they find it hard.

PC does NOT have backwards compatibility. Try playing any CD-ROM from before 2005 on modern hardware. Hell, try playing floppy disks!

[Algis @AlgisKun]

Ballsy? Gunpla gets the lower end of the stick when it comes to kit quality... Not only can they make it , it would be awesome if they actually put the effort they put into their non gunpla models.

[The Red Rock ( Workin on Gunpla Comms) @TheRedRock3]

Is Bandai ballsy enough to actually make a model kit of the alien gundam from Eight?

[Algis @AlgisKun]

You are aware that "Free" is just a technicality that doesn't even make sense ever since the subscription price increased and that it is actually not free... youre paying a subscription to access them.

It was free when you compared them to a time where that was not offered.

[red @Seramurai_]

One thing I wanna point out to people who are cancelling.

Yall do realize the free games that they offer every month..

You do realise you lose all them right?

But let’s address the tweet, they’re not establishing a monopoly as their games will still be sold elsewhere, literally codes in boxes.

Come on now.

[Algis @AlgisKun]

Just a 100 dollars? ill put paint on it anyday...

[N4V4RR0! @Zer0reflect]

ITS A 100 DOLLAR ACTION FIGURE WHY WOULD YOU HAVE TO PAINT THIS????

[Algis @AlgisKun]

News flash: for those without the capacity to foreshadow... Nobody is staying physical... Current Nintendo is "technically physical" but is slowly moving to digital too, theyre just playing a longer game because their online is the least trustworthy one.

[Shadow Shenji @shadowshenji]

If nintendo stays physical will you ‘switch’?

[Algis @AlgisKun]

Its not about physical... its about ownership and the way stores threat you... You chose physical because you didn't trust digital...

If you're forced to digital, you rather trust PC with it than PS or Xbox.

Physical was a contingency for a lot of players. A matter of trust.

[Visual Fidelity @VisualFidelity]

So everyone saying they won't buy a PS6/Helix because of the price and no physical discs...

What's your alternative?

Nintendo?

PC has no physical games either, and it's even more expensive.

Or are we all just quitting gaming? 🤔

[Algis @AlgisKun]

The reason why game key carts exist its not because they're "saving physical"

They're killing digital slowly, which is a big reason why digital versions are cheaper... they're leading consumers to switch the way they consume with subtlety.

[⍑⍲☈⌾ 🍥♓ @TaroTheCerelean]

Honestly, the hate on Switch 2 Game-Key Cards is kinda missing the point. They aren’t some corporate scam to screw us over—they’re actually saving physical gaming.

Look at the tech reality right now: games are just too massive. A ton of modern titles are way bigger than the 64GB cartridge limit. If Nintendo started manufacturing massive 100GB+ carts to fit them, the retail price of those physical games would be absolutely astronomical.

Instead of just giving up and going 100% digital-only like everyone else, Nintendo actually found a pretty clever middle ground.

Plus, there are some major perks people are overlooking:

The Switch 2's onboard SSD is pretty good. Running a huge game from internal storage instead of a slower cartridge means way better performance and barely any loading screens.

Unlike a digital code that gets locked to your account forever, the physical card *is* the license. That means you can still lend it to a friend or resell it when you’re done.

You still get the actual box for your shelf, and stores can still stock them.
At the end of the day, it's just a practical solution to a really tough hardware problem. Game-Key Cards are basically Nintendo's way of recognizing that fans still love physical media and trying to keep it alive. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The only thing I wish is that there were Switch 2 models with higher internal storage 😩 256GB these days is not enough lol

[Algis @AlgisKun]

People: Its missing a color application but i dont want to paint a detail because i paid a premium for it.

Me: you MFers payed a premium for a figure that has the construction pings and exposed toy hardware and are bitching about one colored panel? I would feel scammed.

[Sound2Reco 🇮🇩 (COMMISSION CLOSED) @Sound3Reco]

Gunpla fans would look at you dead in the eye and say "just paint it" on a 13K yen figure

[Algis @AlgisKun]

@HoshinoSaikyo It is mainly because it still depends on DirectX for innovation which they still have dorect control of... And it is a very cheap way to expand reach because it is essentially outsourcing porting work.

[Algis @AlgisKun]

they lowkey saying

"If I'm going to be doing digital only, i rather do it the way PC does it rather than the way PS does"

PC does digital differently from consoles. But a lot of people were too into "Physical > digital" to think about that and is why you find it "redundant"

[Tim Jarrell of PWUnlimited @TimmyBuddy]

Is it just me, or is it redundant for these people mad at PlayStation to say, "If I can't own physical media anymore, I will just game on a PC." PC is only digital media though...

[Algis @AlgisKun]

@JuunTV Theyre not even losing that much money when you consider the amount of people who buy most of their games in the second hand market. Also, most probably a digital sale makes more profit than a physical sale.

Some people will leave but most will keep on. So... Yea.

[Algis @AlgisKun]

@ultimablackmage @ItsMe_CHD @Sony @PlayStation You actually need to convince people to not buy digital..
Physical need to fly off the shelf and digital sales have to plummet for them to reconsider.

[Algis @AlgisKun]

Digital releases are what made indies explode in popularity for over a decade mainly because they get a bigger reach without the risk, manufacturing and shipping physical copies.

This indie powered physical console is an opium dream of an uber niche market

[八野 @yano_gamedev]

we need a new console that's physical only, no online capabilities, low cost entry, and easy to develope for

imagine we just had a $250 physical only console that indies could easily ship games for

not everyone needs $700 console and $80 games and gaming is going to shit anyway

[Algis @AlgisKun]

Think deeper about nothing... You just took another route to reach the same destination.

[Algis @AlgisKun]

@PSivir14 @takeshi_no_uta @SuperButterBuns What made disks popular in the first place was that the capacity and cost was way worth the compromise of the slow speed. In fact, CDs introduced loading screens.

and the speed was enough for quality music and video.

[Algis @AlgisKun]

@PSivir14 @takeshi_no_uta @SuperButterBuns The OG BR and the BR theyre using on the PS5 has a lot more R&D put into it... issue is that optical discs were invented for space capacity, costs and not speed. HDDs and SSDs long caught up and surpassed discs on capacity and are fundamentally faster.
