@Pirat_Nation It’ll be funny when their studies come back with, “Games aren’t the problem.” Millions of tax dollars wasted on studies that are already done. At least it’s not the U.S. this time.

Happy 4th.

Happy 250th.

Let’s use this as a reminder the the United States is the greatest god damn country on earth.

Let’s use today to reignite our passion to prevent invaders from destroying this great nation we’ve built. 🇺🇸

@Pirat_Nation Might as well not have a disc at all.

@TeamNINJAStudio DoA6 is a scam and an embarrassment to the genre. What was once an inspired and fun franchise is now a broken wasteland of micro transactions, censorship and bad online play. What a waste of server space. Hopefully Virtua Fighter doesn’t do this.

@Benjaminxx @DailyLoud The driver couldn’t’ve known if the dog was friendly or not. So they have to assume the worst or risk serious injury. The owner should have either trained their dog better or leashed them. The dog didn’t deserve to have their owner fail them like this.

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.

@nycredude @geoffkeighley But I can play a disc so long as I have something to read it. I don’t have to hope they don’t just remove the content I bought one day. Which multiple companies have done. It might still be a license, but it doesn’t work the same way anymore. You don’t own the license you bought.

@BobTom2144 @Pirat_Nation Depends on the file size. And we don’t know what the size for Wolverine is yet. I guarantee GTA VI will be too big though.

Big fumble to offer anything under 1TB and to not have a stream controller bundled unless you choose the bundle. And then it starts at $1049. Why are they selling this at cost? Are they not making enough money? This is supposed to be a console-like right?

@Pirat_Nation I honestly didn’t even notice. But it makes sense now that I think about it. As long at they aren’t shoving it in my face like Dragon Age: Veilgaurd did, but just have it there like Baldur’s Gate 3 did, then it’s fine.

[Jay Elmer @Jay2Elmer]

@jettelly All they had to was adjust the plane’s flight angle to be visible from the players camera angle and you’d lose nothing. You can also force the character to only move forward as the camera pans a bit to show the plane. This is just proof of lazy design.

@Awk20000 I’m incredibly proud of myself that every time I have had a chance to watch Hasan, I don’t take it.

[Jay Elmer @Jay2Elmer]

@Pirat_Nation They should do a reverse ban instead. So people over 16 can’t play it. That would be hilarious and also fix Roblox’s biggest problem.

[Jay Elmer @Jay2Elmer]

@Pirat_Nation Xbox needs to close them down too

[Jay Elmer @Jay2Elmer]

@Pirat_Nation “…fully playable.” Yeah, except for years of expansions and all past season specific content. They can’t even just put the old stuff back in because they deleted it all. They didn’t even have their own stuff to show in court. They had to reference YouTube videos.
