Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles

Yeah that’s a good point. I tend to hoard my games though. I like to come back to them, and if I was one of those people that already owned chrono trigger on SNES I definitely wouldn’t be buying at back at today’s price if I had previously sold it.

To each their own.
My point is, resale is worth money. The less of a used market the more the value diminishes.
Valve only exists because they fucked us a long time ago and created a monopoly.

The thing is, they’re not a monopoly, they just have the best platform. There’s gog, epic launcher, and all the other ones I choose to ignore. They make everything too easy and convenient. I usually buy my games on steam, and if I really enjoyed them I’ll rebuy them on gog later on sale.

Everything you’ve said could be applied to Microsoft or NVidia who you bitch about. Release a game without Steam, I’m sure you’ll do just fine.
