@CynicUK_@PredecessorGame Hey the map size is fine. Please increase movement speed back up somewhat.
I’m not asking for rotation times to be like sanctuary but walking that slow in V6 was not fun
Sony is so fucking stupid. Not only did you make a dumb decision with cutting physical releases.
You’ve now fucked over your first party exclusives because this boycott isn’t going any time soon.
Asmongold defends himself after facing backlash for his opinion on Sony's PlayStation decision to move away from physical media 👀😳
“People are getting a false sense of security about owning the piece of plastic, as if that actually gives them any privilege. You can still be software locked. Please do not miss the forest from the trees. The holy grail is consumer protections laws and regulations. Please stop thinking that because you own a disc, you have any sort of immutable right over the copyrighted content that you own. You can dog on me and shit on me and try to discredit me with everything else, but please do not lose sight of the end goal, which is better consumer protections, because nothing else will solve this problem”
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.

Iman Shumpert just said what nobody wanted to admit
He HATED LeBron James.
Not naturally, he was trained to.
Loyalty to Melo meant LeBron was the enemy. No questions asked.
Then he became his teammate.
And everything changed.
“He just made everything easier.”
The man he was built to hate turned out to be the greatest teammate he ever had.
Funny how that works.
