It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. - Carl Sagan

I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.

Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.

@TechnicallyTee @Trevornoah I think another thing is about digital is that if your account is hacked or stolen, your games & library are gone. A corp decides you’ve done something wrong & your banned account now has limited access. That can be a lot of money lost instantly.

@XXLrgPopcorn It won’t kill the PlayStation. Physical sales are the minority of sales these days. Probably 30% or lower. The market has spoken unfortunately.

@DMC_Ryan I’m trying to figure out what the point of the showcase was with all of the apparent closures & cancellations.

This is very good from Tim Miller.

Trump clearly doesn’t understand that a passport is for Americans, since the message he’s delivering is suitable for a visa for foreigners.

No new consoles until at least 2029 if either XBOX or Sony wants them to have a chance.

JD and co. were such fucking morons for opening this up as a debate and letting Dems tee up on it all day every day

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Good point.

If you think politicians, billionaires, elites, and members of the Epstein Class should be able to do whatever they want without any accountability, vote Republican this Fall.

@XXLrgPopcorn I hate the “job” of influencer. I wish they would vanish.

Here are the best deals available on Xbox consoles right now, and why you should consider picking one up sooner rather than later with Microsoft officially confirming another massive price hike. https://t.co/ZJylN0wQoX

@XXLrgPopcorn Yep. “In a minute” means let me finish the thing I am currently focused on & I will handle what you need next.

@DestinLegarie I don’t even know how they’d source the components for anything “next-gen” to meet demand.

[Tario @Tario70]

@DestinLegarie Gaming as an industry is going to be hit hard. Either the tech industry busts or AI/LLMs bust. It’s clear they can’t coexist.

[Tario @Tario70]

@DMC_Ryan This is insane. The industry cannot survive these prices. Same for the PC side of things. The bottom either drops out on AI (LLMs) or everything tech related drops.
