[@josiaharaki7310]

I think the idea of the physical release for online games is so parents/grandparents have something other than a piece of cardboard with a code printed on it to give their kids. For example, I don't know if an elderly grandparent would understand how a download code for a game works, but if there's a physical game case next to all the other game cases, the grandparent will understand it's the complete "thing" you need to play the game. When I was a kid, my parents got my brother a preorder of Pokemon Moon for his birthday and the Gamestop employee gave her one of their extra advertisement boxes for the game for her to put the receipt in.

Worse part, it's entirely triple a developers refusing to minimize the size of their games files. I can fit over 40 indie games on my switch, but oh, the Xbox can't fit call of duty and the next one? NOT EVEN JUST A COMPETITOR, TWO GAMES THEY MADE BACK TO BACK? it's rediclous and half the reason I've given up on them. They'd rather attempt a hostage negotiation to make sure you're not playing a game that competes with them through sheer file space rather than through quality. It's disgraceful to think I ever spent money on them if they treat me and my file space as the enemy

[@pg28]

@@shadowsnake5133its not that they want huge file sizes. Its that games just get bigger and bigger as devs get more and more skilled. While some projects (FNAF SB. Cyberpunk. Etc) are corner cut to get it out by the time it needs to be. Those are less common than youd thing. They dont treat your file size like the enemy. They just are making bigger games. Which can be annoying. But it also means that the game usually has alot of detail. And that usually means its a good game. With some admittedly annoying exceptions

[@doublebubble5gaming]

@@shadowsnake5133 just untrue, i have 48 games on my xbox including call of duty and gta5, and im constantly trying to make space with the maybe 32 gigs you get with a switch. microsoft has been one of the biggest supporters of playing their games on other consoles and playing other consoles' games on theirs.

@@adrnacad3434 One of the reasons is the absolutely massive difference in buying power between European countries. You have some of the world's richest countries in terms of GDP per capita on the one hand vs. (extremely) poor ones like Ukraine, Moldova, several former Yugoslavian countries, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Greece, ... on the other.

[@sethbessinger2025]

Digital has some upsides and some flaws. For pros: less required space, no need to switch discs. Cons: nasty DRM, needing an account, needing an internet connection (back to DRM), can be revoked (again, DRM), and you can’t physically hold it and admire it. GOG only really has the downside of not having the game tangibly. There’s also the fact it’s Scott’s worst f**king nightmare.

[@Krawurxus]

GoG is digital gaming done right. You can download a completely offline installer so you technically have a physical copy if you burn it to a disc or even keep it on a large storage drive, but you can also use their launcher and have the convenience of installing and playing it directly from there. I don't get why people are willingly choosing less.

[@samuelsanchez6082]

How is needing an account a con? It takes like 3 minutes.

[@Krawurxus]

@@samuelsanchez6082 Because some people aren't too keen on handing corporations a bunch of personal info so they can better track and advertise to you. With physical game releases all you need is to go into a store, pay cash and play the game offline. So it's not about convenience, it's about privacy. Plus, the account serves to keep you in a closed ecosystem. An account requirement exists specifically to take power and control away from the customer.

I mained Onlive the entire time it was available. Even purchasing a console. Where I was located, the input lag actually felt negligible. The community features were really well done and joining someone immediately by watching them for a bit and then just hitting the button and joining them was incredible.The UI was some of the best Ive seen on a console in a long while and it also had the ability to clip the last bit of your gameplay, which at the time was a pretty unique experience. I cherish my time with it and the fact that I still have yet to play a service that feels as fluid as that was, makes me sad but hopeful for the future of Cloud gaming. The UI was also some of the best Ive seen on a console in a long while. I just wish I had an Onlive controller compatible with my PC so I can at least kinda relive the experience.

[@Bristecom]

I heavily considered getting one back in the day but aside from having a built in controller, it was actually a very crappy Android phone. The hardware was very outdated and the screen was poor quality among other issues. So I ended up just getting a nice Galaxy Nexus and stuck with my actual PSP for handheld gaming instead. My main reason for wanting it was for emulators but in reality, I probably wouldn't have played it that much compared to other games.

[@TheFool87]

Great video, if we summarise everything: Pros: + digital sales are great for small indie companies, it means more games available for players + it is very easy and convenient Cons - for some stupid reason (aka greed) digital downloads are usually more expensive than physical ones. - server support will eventually end and you will lose your access to your downloads forever, so technically you do not own the game. - downloading big games can take hours to finish depending on server speed - refunds are very hard to get (except steam) - you cannot give your games to others or resell them So, yeah, physical is still much better

So expire date game code is a question mark. How can one redeem codes if the online store is close? Question mark on those that want a sealed games with day one code. That happen to me. I bought God of War Ascension day one edition with code. So 3 years later, I decided to play it and put the code in. It didn't work because the code expired. Oh, at the end of the video, you bought the Uncharted Collection. You got the physical but it needs to be installed. The disc act as a key to play the game. It would take another 20-40 minutes, depend on internet speed, to actually play the game and don't forget the patch as well.

Very informative and I thought it was hilarious at times. Very good!

A compilation of my favorite STW topic, yes

Anytime I need a reminder of the pitfalls of modern gaming, I think back to _Chrome_ _Hounds_ , a promising near-launch title that became nothing more than a goddamn tutorial *within* its own console generation (*six* *full* *years* *prior* to end of life). 😥

I keep running into Digital copies of games that have DISC STALL and DROP. Digital behaving like a scratched PS2 disc. Authenticity?

My tv has GeForce now compatibility built in, and it can also accept wireless or wired controllers and keyboard and mouse so I tried it out one day and it worked fairly well. Sfter signing into Steam I was able to play anything I had fairly eaisly with only a tiny bit of lag(I have 1g internet, so best case scenario). But I have a PC and a PS5/Series X so I don't really need it and haven't tried it since, but it worked well enough that I'd recommend it to someone without a dedicated way to play games, especially if you have one of the OLED tvs that supports the app natively. I don't think there's many that do though, I know when I tried it my tv was the only one on the market that did though I'm sure more have come out since that do.

[@rockapartie]

Do you have to enable gaming mode or does the app automatically disable the TV's enhancements? Because those add a ton of extra lag.

I absolutely loved PlayStation now when I first got it and enjoy it all the way up until they got rid of it all. It was a way for me to play games in a deeper variety. Streaming was never an issue for me so I can't say it wasn't worth it.

As I hear you talk, you make me aware of something. Why am I buying the game when I usually have it beat within 30 days? I could be saving so much money. You want to pay $60 up front and maybe get $35 back. I rather pay $15 up front and that is it. I have never thought about that idea before. 😊

There are like 4 games I regret not keeping physical copies of but other than that, all digital is so nice.
