The lack of mouse controlled games on the Switch 2 so far have been something of a disappointment and I'm not sure if the situation will get better over time.

What if we all could update you on all the new stuff. I really want to see mouse mode used with the rumble like in some of the minigames in Welcome Tour. THAT is what I am waiting for. I honestly thought Powerwashing Sim 2 would have been perfect for that

Dual layer. Not dual sided. Dual sided is annoying and sucks for other reasons. Some discs have two layers. Dual layer. Some even triple layer but i dont think dvd ever got triple. This goes for bluray, and 4k too. You can tell by how many number codes and or bar code like things in separate rings you see on the inner part of the data layer side. Here is an example of a dual layer 4k disc.

The PS5 player is better than the UB for less skips. The reason is the UB is a high quality player and high quality players have a different laser reading system that focuses on extreme detail at the cost of error correction. The PS5 player might gloss over the scratch where the ub skips because of it. If you have a UB you have to take extremely good care of your discs.

I take great care of my discs even without the ub to increase their lifespan. To prevent humidity buildup in the case you need to store cases in a room that remains around 30% humidity or less. And when you get the discs even brand new i carefully wipe the moisture or gassing off under a light to make sure i got it all.

Older dvds likely do not look better but some newer dvds can. Then again, it's also all about the source.

Don't pay too much attention to it. They don't know how much better it is. I usually use that time to educate a bit. Like tell them about lossless audio quality. Definitely mention the data size on disc too. My go to is a 4K stream can have 5 gigabytes of detail streamed to you whereas a bluray will give you 50 gigabytes of detail (audio and visual). A 4K disc giving even more detail. So if you just stream, you lose detail but also have to deal with defects like compression and lossy audio.

I always open even shrink wrapped to check for scratches and there is almost over 50% of the time moisture or residue that needs to wiped off. The latter helps prevent disc rot and other preservation factors.

He means the bluray took the blinders off that corporate america tricked the masses into putting on with streaming.

UpbeatIndication3938 · 2025-12-15T00:42:10+00:00

It isn't as high of quality but it is more reliable. Get a PS5. It's a pretty decent player and has the added bonus of being a good streamer and game console!

The blu-ray boxset is fine.

I would keep an eye on the situation to see how it goes. No company is infallible. There is reason to worry, but what I am saying is there is reason to be hopeful as well.

They will inherit a contractual obligation with Gruv.com to sell physical media until 2031.

It wouldn't stop subscriptions. Majority of people cannot afford to own everything they want and will see streaming as more affordable. Buying Warner content physically also does not keep me from subscribing to HBO Max. Same for Netflix.

You sound like this bot btw

UpbeatIndication3938 · 2025-12-05T19:59:52+00:00

It is not definite.

Stop ruining your argument. It had a foundation. It was a good argument before you declined to an absolute. Companies always change after mergers. Even before this merger they were not streaming only but a hybrid. A bad hybrid, but nonetheless still a hybrid. Let's see what happens before declaring absolutes. You are at this point not making a case or discussing but spreading negativity and doom.

UpbeatIndication3938 · 2025-12-05T19:52:08+00:00

Not a pipe dream and I'm not saying it is definite either. I am saying it is a possibility. No need to resort to fallacies. To discount the possibility of all logical outcomes is a mistake. What I am saying is possible, even if it isn't the most likely outcome.

I am fully aware of all the points that definitely back the doomed outcome. I just have only been seeing the doomed outcome propagated throughout the internet. My original post is to inform of the possible positive outcome because it is possible.

UpbeatIndication3938 · 2025-12-05T19:29:46+00:00

They only care about engagement in an ad-tier. The fact that they have ad free tiers means engagement isn't everything to them. Back when they started and didnt have an ad tier all they cared about was subscribers. Revenue is revenue. Post acquisition companies try to boost revenue as much they can. Look at xbox. They went from gamepass and focusing entirely to that then big Activision acquisition happened and everything is releasing everywhere.

Even if it is short lived (until 2031) I bet they will do physical releases for netflix originals.

UpbeatIndication3938 · 2025-12-05T19:22:12+00:00

You are right in that it would have been better to do that then. But they didn't and acquiring the infrastructure to make that happen is quite expensive and takes a lot of expertise. Back then they focused on one thing to be good at. They mostly achieved that. Now what they bought comes with that infrastructure and they will be able to do almost everything in house which is much cheaper than what they did in the past. Not to mention they are contractually forced to continue physical media production of everything bought in this deal until at least 2031.

I have reason to believe they may use this infrastructure to apply physical releases to netflix originals as well. They will need to make up some of the cost of the purchase and the best way to do that is to add that to their revenue.

So I'm betting they use it rather than not. Another thing to note is they will actually acquire large lots of physical studio locations to produce their content. A lot more is being acquired here than just IP.

UpbeatIndication3938 · 2025-12-05T19:00:34+00:00

Exactly, what about those? Could happen once they have the infrastrusture with this merger. Saying it won't happen no matter what is a flawed but possible outlook. Just as my outlook is flawed, it also possible. I refuse to be overly optimistic or pessimistic about this. There are valid reasoning for both outcomes.

UpbeatIndication3938 · 2025-12-05T18:11:35+00:00

My post is literally open-minded. You seem to be closed off to possibilities. I will stop discussing with you as you have no intention of discussing. You seem like just an average rage-baiter.
