@LilithLovett I mean, aren't companies already trying to do that with streaming games? Also remember, we aren't the target audience. It's the kids of today and tomorrow who won't know any better and will just have to embrace the slop.
A surprising number of American liberals with lofty titles sided with Trump over the football corruption because, for the first time, they felt like daddy was working for their side. They never really minded who Trump was; they just felt daddy didn't love them. Now daddy had finally come home for the whole American family. The rest of the world, of course, watched in disbelief.
@junius1768@DarthPutinKGB@FIFAcom Gigi is acting like he's on the Epstein list and only Trump can save him, but neither Russia not Qatar got the WC without massive "lobbying". Corruption was always here, it's just more in the open for everyone to see and it will continue to get much much worse.

@CreamLunar@LilithLovett I've been using @GOGcom as my main platform for 15 or so years, and if I'm not mistaken, you can also leave your collection to your kids. You don't lose them as you would a licence on other digital platforms.
@polidemitolog I'm rooting for both Spain and Belgium tonight. That's wild since I don't know if I ever rooted for them. At least England vs Norway is easy.
Just to clear confusion, I see a lot of people saying "oh Sony is just trying to save money by cutting physical releases".
No they are not, they are actually willing to cut down a good chunk of income to create full market control.
If physical games were a loss leader there would have been something completely wrong with the production and distribution of video games and gaming wouldn't be as big as it was today.
Financially speaking this done to increase prices down the road, lock people into an eco system and make people dependent on their platform by creating sunk-cost fallacy. All your eggs in one basket. Because once you spend 1000's of dollars into your account. Its going to be really hard to just give it up. Because you can't just go out and sell your collection on ebay.
But yeah tell me again why this is supposed to be good for you as a customer. You are willingly becoming the products and you don't even realize it.
@LilithLovett For my PC I want digital copies, and I use @GOGcom because of DRM free policy.
For my console I want a physical collection, because without it, a console is just a shittier PC.
I cancelled PS+ last year. Suffice to say I'm not interested in PS6 at all.
@SophiaNarwitz You've got only one life. Do what's best for you. Best of luck. And yeah, having one name is extremely douchy, but you might able to pull it off.
@JohnCleese Well, they've been targeting civilian infrastructure like schools, residential buildings, churches, hospitals, etc. So targeting military targets would indeed be something new for them.
@LegacyKillaHD I mean, it's the same article with Bethesda for some 20 years. You can just republish it every few months and just tweak the title - Bethesda releases {game}, still a broken mess after {x} years
