Laughs in SSD full of digital copies they can never take away from me
The year is 2036 and I’ve been brought in for questioning because my PlayStation Plus subscription lapsed well over 3 months ago.

Don’t have to. None of them have any DRM

Hitman, my beloved, you’re such a good game but fuuuuuck the online connection thing.

Pro tip: pirated versions usually remove this requirement.

connects to the totally legit server hosted by the game company that I absolutely made an account for, the server that’s certainly not being spoofed on my local machine or hosted on my living room server
There you go, lil guy, you’re good to play this legitimate game on the server you were definitely designed for!

I’m guessing the commenter is talking about GOG and/or “legitimate” piracy on PC.
(Legitimate piracy meaning you own the game legally but you downloaded a pirated copy to avoid DRM)

Sounds like a very convincing reason to never rent a Sony product again.

I will get disliked but I will say it.
Discs are dying because of their low storage, high price per GB, reading speeds and no demand since internet speeds got very high.
The problem is not the discs disappearing. The problem is that we don’t own the data we buy.
When I’m fucking paying for a software, I am not paying to use it, I pay for the data, the files and to do whatever the fuck I want with them.
You can copy songs, you can mix songs, you can fucking alter them, because you own them even if you buy them without a disc.
Do you want not to sell discs? Fine. Let me download the image file and store it wherever I want.

Your right, I think most are taking the news hard as discs were seen as the final hold out of I brought something and I own it.
We’ve changed from media to media its just that at this time, we are at the tipping point, and as of tomorrow (2028) we will have zero options to buy a game and own it (on consoles, yes GOG is a thing)

I remember when this was so absurd that it was funny, now it just seems like an inevitability…

Except you’ll also have to swear allegiance to the Supreme Leader before you can use any computing device.

Now the absurd part is the idea that people will be playing on XBOX in the future.
