Re: PS5's Next Big Exclusive Dated, and It's Closer Than You Think

@ButteredCrumpet agreed. If people want to complain about not being able to grow their disc based collection, or trade in their games, by all means.

As far as I am concerned, that's the only benefit I see to physical these days. Controlling your shelf clutter. A good friend of mine is opting out of gaming when discs end and I don't berate him about it and it's quite obvious why. He doesn't rage bait about it and he stays on topic.

@8bitOG If you wanna channel that outrage do it some place useful where you won't be annoying everyone else.

Or better yet, take up another hobby. Like playing an instrument, reading, something creative, etc.

Honestly, there are many better, more productive things people could be investing their time and money into and bettering themselves.

Also, when you buy a game, you own the disc. That's it. The disc gives you access to the license, which you don't own.

@8bitOG I can guarantee you no one has forgotten about Sony's choice to go all digital. We don't need the incredibly vocal minority ruining every comment section with remarks about it to earn fake internet points.

Go play some of those disc-based games you enjoy before they become coasters and find something new to whine about.

@RobN Sierra games hold a special place in my heart. King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory and even Leisure Suit Larry. I was first introduced to KQ when I was less than 10 years old.

The adapting is now necessary from the side of the hobbyists. We already see lots of posts where people say they're dipping out when physical media does.

This is people refusing to adapt.

@ShadowRJ yeah, I re-read your comment and realized I misunderstood, hence why I deleted. And yes, you are being one of the more sensible ones about it, unlike that one unhinged moron who was basically calling for death of everyone at Sony.

But gaming, unfortunately is becoming just like everything else in life.

Adapt or die.
