Through AI, we can finally rebuild The Tower of Babylon

Thank God and the folly of the Tower of Babylon for language barriers

Anyone who has been a PC Gamer long enough knows that "Physical Copies" isn't always the best solution

[Shank @ShankMods]

Why are we okay with no physical releases on PC, but not on console?

I genuinely think discontinuing physical media is a very bad thing, but why is our outlook on it so different between PC and console?

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@HappyMantShrimp At least you don't have to depend on GoG Galaxy to play the games. Just download the installer off the website and you're good to go

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@KaizokuBalls @JuanIsidro It being a sustainable business model is a different topic altogether.
What you need to understand is that True Ownership is not always Physical Possession.

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@BrownsLaws @cowboy_postbop You're projecting company-wide profits onto a single franchise

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@f4micom Tariffs are a temporary solution that's very prone to becoming permanent

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@Mr_Boffin @SCShipyards If they want an even worse doomsday scenario, they would make it out of mirror-life

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@NotOkN1 Weird Al got to crack that ponut

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@KaizokuBalls @JuanIsidro but at least with the GoG copy the data isn't trapped in a single media, I can make as many plastic discs as I want. Bitrot be damned.

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@KaizokuBalls @JuanIsidro it's only "best" because of an enforced artificial scarcity.
Once again, the actual product is all data.
A magnetic platter is as much a physical storage device as a plastic disc.
Both media can get corrupted, and both require responsibility on part of the owner to prevent that

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@KaizokuBalls @JuanIsidro The "secret sauce" of physical does not exist. If anything, the DRM is that sauce, and it tastes like shit

[GEe Dutreix @Gee_Dutreix]

You can burn games into discs so you keep physical copies btw

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@KaizokuBalls @JuanIsidro Seriously, what difference would it even make? You're concerned with the existence of the plastic disc, well you're more than free to make it yourself. But I guess you're gonna complain that it lacks the "secret sauce" from having it come out of a disc pressing factory.

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@NCyotee @GoodOldGames The DRM is optional, that much is true. But the toggle is probably on by default so most devs, even indie devs, aren't aware that they're loading up their game with Steamworks.

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@ShankMods If only the rest of the industry follows suit.

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@ShankMods Because the PC scene is partially influenced by the open source software movement that has basically introduced the idea that True Ownership is not necessarily equivalent to Physical Possession. We are already shown that a better world is possible through GoG.

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@KaizokuBalls @JuanIsidro "instead of just buying a physical copy" as if that doesn't entail a need to also worry about the safety of the physical copy because you can't back it up for shit because of the bullshit DRM they load onto those things

[Patavius @Capt_Patavius]

@KaizokuBalls @JuanIsidro What difference does it make is the 1s and 0s are in a plastic disc or magnetic platter? They're both data storage media, and inside is still data regardless, and both are similarly subject to data corruption.
