the problem isnt the fact that digital is technically worse, because it runs on ssds, downloads quickly and its just all there, the problem is the drm and the fact you dont own it. if every digital storefront was like GOG there wouldnt even be discussion about this.
Hideki Kamiya is 100% digital... and I actually agree with him here.
The biggest issue isn't simply physical vs. digital.
It's whether the games we pay for TODAY will still be playable 10, 20 or 30 years from now.
If the industry wants an all-digital future, then preservation and permanent access can't be an afterthought.
Games shouldn't just disappear.
@DuckySSB nah, gta 6 is gonna be so cpu heavy, its why its gonna be only 30 fps. console cpus are ass and even then the switch 2 is WAY shittier. the gpus aight tho.
@f4micom honestly cloud gaming sets a really bad future of us borrowing compute units instead of owning computers. i think they should just remove it altogether tho.
@beltfedfanatic then dont play the game. just bc u dont like that doesnt mean it isnt someones escapism. im not one of those "if u dont play gta 6 ur a fake gamer" but like really, you aint forced to play it :D
@BlackMajikMan90 its so funny that they just say "oh well we sell more digital" but dont provide numbers or proof because it would show that they are full of shit. may be true in america, but the civilised world actually cares about their rights.
@thirdworldgamer its still stupid. maybe providing cloud service is more expensive, but im 1000% sure the company wouldnt drown in debt if they took the brunt of it and maybe, wow, lost some money. that would be bad because muh shareholders...
@NeoGameSpark because Americans are fat fucks who would get in their car for a 2 minute walk. the rest of the world, where the avg iq is above 85, does buy physical games. but america is still a leading country, as in leading in the most brainlets in a single country.
@klobrille just stupid... these billion dollar companies should learn how to stand up for their customers instead of telling the "b-b-but inflation and ai" to justify it. maybe the billion dollar company should pay for the markets downfall, not the costumers.
