It's not possible. No, it's necessary.

There is Good in the World. And it’s Worth Fighting For.

They smashed babies against trees and murdered nearly 2 million Cambodians in under 4 years chasing a pure agrarian communist utopia with no cities, no money, and no private property.

On April 17 1975, the Khmer Rouge rolled into Phnom Penh and within hours emptied the entire city, marching hospital patients and the elderly into the countryside on foot as they declared Year Zero and set out to erase every trace of the old society.

Anyone tied to the past became a target and wearing glasses alone could get you killed because it proved you could read, while doctors, teachers, engineers, and monks were executed as enemies of the revolution.

They turned a high school into a prison where roughly 20,000 people were tortured into confessing crimes that never happened, after which they were trucked to mass graves in the killing fields where executioners smashed infants against the killing tree to save bullets.

But they never achieved a classless utopia so it wasn’t like real communism.

Asmongold says Hitler aura edits on Instagram prove how time changes perception of historical figures

"My parents, it was unthinkable to even say anything positive about Hitler. But now you have people with aura edits on Instagram. I don't think you'd have aura edits like that on Instagram in 1965"

"The farther away you get from something and the more people look at it from a retrospective rather than the people that were directly involved, you're going to have that shift"

El exagente de la KGB, Yuri Bezmenov, advertía que un país no se destruye con bombas. Se lo desmoraliza. Se reescribe su historia y se enseña a su pueblo a avergonzarse de su propio país. Cuando eso ocurre, las personas dejan de defenderlo.

Long post--sorry.

The fixation around physical media is a red herring.

People who obtained physical copies of Crimson Desert early weren't able to play it because the PS5 locked them out of playing it. You can look this up, multiple articles about the topic. Clearly physical media didn't save you then, and it won't save you when a licensing agreement expires and a game will no longer run on your software until you download an update that might remove features/content.

A good example of this is ironically Mixtape. Because the game has a large amount of licensed music, it's plausible that one of those contracts will expire and a patch will be pushed that removes a song from the game. If you don't download that patch, you will no longer be able to access or play the game.

Physical media isn't the holy grail, consumer rights and protections is. Why aren't we using Apple lighting cables and we are using USB-C instead? It's not because of Apple, it's because of the EU.

While PC players have more work-arounds for this issue, console players are at the mercy of updates they have no choice but to accept. Physical media won't save you from that.

The convenience of digital downloads should not be viewed as a forfeiture of consumer protections.

The reason why record labels still sell vinyls is because people still buy vinyls. While there are I'm sure some people who still purchase video games physically, I would guess that number is decreasing every year. If physical copies were popular, Gamestop would still have video games in it instead of Funko pops and tshirts.

I know this is the unpopular take to have. but you can't expect companies to keep making physical editions of games if not enough people are buying them.

My point with all of this is that a lot of peoples' concern and frustration comes from the lack of control they have over the media they "own". Physical media does not solve this problem when it's at the mercy of the software running the consoles/game launchers.

If you want to solve the problem, you should be supporting initiatives like Stop Killing Games @StopKilingGames.
