    I’m one of the indifferent ones and I would actually echo the companies in “no one buys physical media anymore and the stats prove it”.

    Now that doesn’t mean it’s right. I’m also there I love used game shops and I still will once in a while buy a game for my Xbox series x.

    That said, for decades now PC games have been dl through steam. People very much do not buy physical games. The only difference is this is a walled ecosystem in PS (or MS as I’m sure they will follow suite if they survive the console wars). Nintendo?

    So I guess what I’m saying is although I get the hatred, where have all you fuckers been while physical media has pretty much disappeared everywhere? Or is the truth that you are all a vocal minority screaming into a hurricane?

    I’m not looking to stir up shit. I honestly want to know. I would probably still buy an Xbox if it’s cheap and game pass is around and no physical media. I can always go back to PC gaming if I want. I still have the choice. To complain about a company business decision though if they really believe it’s where the market is going (and I think I agree) then good on them. Just don’t buy a PS6?
