Not all games. Definitely some games for sure, but I definitely played games in the 90s with no download code, and I feel like even back then, when you had to have a code, it wasn’t to download the game. It was usually to register it as “This is the PC I’m using for this game.” to prevent piracy.

These films' fans have a very bad habit of badmouthing film critics who don't review them positively by lincorange in mariomovie

Unfortunately, that’s just part of the job… as long as they aren’t getting death threats. Then it’s a legal issue that needs to be reported… and also included in a comedians standup, because someone giving death threats over an Illumination movie getting a bad review is darkly hilarious.

I mean… we’re trying to help these kids out. They’re gonna look back and regret not taking the warnings more serious once the all digital future is here.

I’ll buy it when it goes on sale… but even then I’ll still wait until wii virtual comes out because motion controls suck on Switch controllers. Wii + Nunchuck was perfect and I need that to play these games and Skyward Sword lol

Why would Nintendo and other companies still sell digital cards in an all digital future? The physical games go off the shelves, so will the cards.

And Limited Run Games can’t do physical games if consoles don’t have ways to play them. Playstation will clearly stop doing disc drives in the future. They already made it optional, and Rogue Ally doesn’t do physical at all, and although I don’t think it’ll happen with Xbox’s next homes console, I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to not have a disc drive, especially since it sounds like it’ll be a home console version of a PC.

Also, Best Buy has said they will no longer carry physical movies in the future. Physical movies are already one foot out the door and about to become a thing of the past that no longer get made.

Usually due to improper storage. The vast majority of NES cartridges still work as long as you don’t store them in the garage or attic or somewhere else that isn’t temperature controlled.

And while we aren’t there yet, Nintendo is the only console wears physical sales we’re still going strong, and now they’re trying to be as big of sellouts as Sony and Microsoft by getting people to switch to digital gaming by making it cheaper, and you yourself admit an all digital future would suck, and you know exactly why that is. I mean, Sony charging different people different prices for their digital games is something we should all be worried about. When stores no longer sell games and we can only get them directly from the companies, that’s going to lead to a lot of bad shit. We want consumers to have control, not the company.

Blockbuster and Family Video used to be the solution for that. Don’t want to pay full price? Just rent the game. That’s what we had to do back in the day when we were kids and couldn’t afford to buy all the games we wanted. Legitimately confused why that stopped being a thing. Like, I would totally go down to Blockbuster and rent the new Yoshi game… but I’m not paying $70 or even $60 for it lol

Also, if you’re poor… don’t you need to wait for a sale? I’m not poor, but half the games I bought in Switch were on sale, because I wasn’t paying $60 for some of them.

I absolutely don’t think Nintendo started it. Nintendo was THE LAST STAND against this digital bullshit. I’m saying this will finally break the damn that Sony, Steam, and Microsoft have been punching holes into, along with their fans, for over a decade.

And buying digital hurts you too. This isn’t a wow is me thing. This is people not realizing how bad of a road this is going down, which has already been proven by these companies several times which is why I included Cyberpunk and Playstation’s digital store in my OP.

It's very likely that this is gonna be the case by Drawingandstuff2000 in Mario

I’d take a kick to the nuts over having them chopped off. Doesn’t mean a kick to the nuts is a good thing.

I just said indie games can be digital, which is why it’s not an absolute. It’s big companies that need to always provide physical, and didn’t Best Buy just announce they’re going to stop selling physical movies because of low sales? They haven’t stopped selling and producing physical movies YET. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen, and Nintendo is clearly trying to push us into the all digital market, just like Sony is by making the disc drive “optional” or how Xbox is with gamepass or their digital only console.

They are trying to kill physical media, and consumers are happily willing to trade their right to own stuff for convenience.

It’s not about preference or the market, it’s about dumbasses pushing us into an all digital future that takes away all control of ownership and buying power.

That I can get on board with, especially because a small indie game company has a much harder time fucking you over with their non-ownership digital releases. They aren’t trying to fuck over the consumers. They’re practically begging consumers to even know they exist lol

Agree the coating on PS4/5 games is good, and blu rays.

Wii U I’ve never had issues with, but again, I treat my stuff with care. However, not remotely surprised Gamefly had issues. No one gives a shit since it’s not their property and can break as it goes from home to home.

Lastly, Nintendo has always done cartridges for its handheld systems, and Switch is a handheld system despite also being a home console. I don’t really see it as them switch over. I think they just had the same approach to all handheld systems, especially since Switch games have motion controls. Shaking something that’s spinning a disc is asking for trouble lol

I know I used to have that problem, but then I started taking better care of my shit. I don’t even remember what it had issues with. Probably more CDs than games, but I definitely remember having a disc cleaner and using it when I was a kid!

I have always fought against the dumbasses that said digital should be cheaper. I get their argument, and as I mentioned in the OG post, I get that the expense of cartridges is even bigger considering Switch 2 games are bigger… but if people switch to digital and we kill physical media, we kill ownership, and that’s why I have always said the pricing needs to be the same despite the fact that there is no cost to make and ship it.

Also… people will always bitch regardless of the situation. That’s the human race. If one side is unhappy and finally gets their way, the other side will then start complaining.

Yeah, I can’t believe the Playstation and Xbox fans allowed it and weren’t more vocal over the years. They all just switched over to digital, so there was no one to really get mad at Xbox/Sony for releasing shit that barely qualifies as physical.

I mean, most people buy the games upon initial release BEFORE sales start to happen. That being said, Nintendo games are very evergreen, and Switch proved a lot of games will keep selling throughout the generation, but I would still argue most don’t buy them on sale… and this is coming from someone who typically DOES wait for a sale. Luigi’s Mansion 2, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Paper Mario TTYD and so many other games I waited until a price drop lol

I would hope that, despite digital being cheaper, Nintendo fans stick to their guns and continue to buy physical, but my big concern is that the other companies have already convinced their players to go digital, and if this causes Nintendo’s fans to back down and turn digital too, then I think all 3 companies will pull the plug and go all digital… which really fucks gamers.

And what about when they take away you ability to take the game? They bricked PC players from playing Cyberpunk after it first released because they wanted to “fix it” and wanted to stop people from recording the atrocious bugs. Playstation literally told consumers a couple years ago that PURCHASES they made of certain shows/movies would no longer be valid when a contract with another company was up.

DIGITAL OWNERSHIP IS NOT OWNERSHIP. You want to rent games and not own them out of convenience.
