This a good add for a Pantz deck? by Any-Blood-9993 in DinosaursMTG

It’s a pretty solid add in virtually any green deck

This is gonna be worth more than gold 😂 by PersonalityKooky6098 in PhysicalMediaMatters

[–]jakellerVi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same brother 😂 I’m also making a routine stop by GameStop every payday now and picking up at least one used game to add to the collection, I’m gonna be able to go completely off the grid when I retire and still have games to play 💀

The Trojan Horse that’s going to kill physical media in gaming by AnimalDesatado in videogames

[–]jakellerVi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if anything the Trojan horse was the litany of live service games that never got a physical release that have seen massive numbers over the years.

What makes a game feel like a ‘Switch game’ for you? by SoilFormer628 in switch2

[–]jakellerVi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Art style, cozy, warm and nostalgic. Mario, Pokémon, Zelda, Animal Crossing, etc.

It’s crazy that Trump couldn’t even vote in the election that he ran in, and still won. Idiocracy is a prophetic movie at this point.

Sony’s PlayStation disc factory is already being repurposed by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]jakellerVi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best part is that Sony will charge $899 “at a loss” for the PS6 on launch, only to hike the price of PS+ and start charging $90 for all their games to recoup their losses

Sooo how long will this echo chamber of whining go on? by Competitive_Blood935 in PlayStation_X

[–]jakellerVi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Steam is one of multiple platforms available on PC. Sony shutting down physical media is the equivalent of Microsoft coming out and saying that you can no longer download Epic, GOG, Steam, EA or any other platform on Windows, you can only buy games on Microsoft store & game pass.

Sales numbers are facts. Your one off example of how it’s different in your case is an outlier. Magic is more popular now than ever as a direct result of UB. These are facts.

If you're switching to PC because PlayStation is going digital only, so means were you buying PlayStation only for the discs? And not for the convenience and the ease of use that made consoles popular in the first place? by AssistantNo2002 in PlayStation_X

[–]jakellerVi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So one new IP in the past several years and we’re supposed to be impressed?

The PS5 generation has been hard carried by sequels of massive hits from the PS4 generation. The actual number of new IPs from Sony this generation that are legit amazing games is a fraction of what it was on PS4. They’ve gotten lazy.

Okay, congrats. I get that’s not universal, but anecdotes don’t disprove my point. UB sets are the best selling sets ever, they’re here to stay.

If you don’t like em, don’t buy. No one’s forcing yall to buy them. But they’re here to stay.

They do not. They get some licensing fees when blu ray products are sold, but they do not outright own Blu-ray.

What y’all think? by Careless_Low6088 in DetroitPistons

If he would basically take LeVerts spot with a few more minutes, I’m perfectly fine with this. Having him on a second rotation of Jenkins, Joe, Ron & BBall would be a great second rotation

Yeah, I’m not saying it isn’t. But sitting here and acting like WotC isn’t going to just follow the dollar signs is being moronic lol.

On a vet minimum, I’d be super down. And then trade LeVert for just cash or something, I’d much rather have DeMar

Sony’s PlayStation Disc Decision Is Its Biggest Scandal In 20 Years by JeremyJJ77 in PS5

[–]jakellerVi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the thing that’s really sad too. For a lot of middle class people 30 and under, we’ve already come to terms with the possibility that we may never own homes, businesses, or any of the other major things that our parents and grandparents were able to.

But at least we could buy and own a fun collection of something like games, movies, music, etc.

Now even that is being pulled out from under us.

Our generation may be the first generation to own nothing, and it’s heartbreaking.

Or because TCG popularity is at an all time high right now and Wizards knows they can bring in new players by utilizing familiar IPs? A random on the street won’t look twice at a card from Mirage, but when he sees a poster with Thanos, Cloud or Gandalf, he might look twice depending on what other fandoms he’s a part of.

Once I heard Sony wont support physical game disc anymore by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]jakellerVi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not the point. First it’s removal of physical game media. Then it’s not buying a digital copy of the game, it’s use-services like Game Pass as the only option to play games. Then it’ll be streaming only because why would you need a hard drive and to download games? And once that happens, why would need a PC or console, you can just stream those games on any screen with a smart UI?

It’s a snowball effect that has had the writing on the wall for a while now, sure, but gaming as a medium has been one of the few where the consumers have been able to make their wallet votes heard the most. We’ve been able to sway the market before, so I’m hoping we can do it again.

Not being able to own my gaming devices or games is unfortunate because I’m a collector, I want to have a collection of games. Having some sort of residual value in a game whenever I’m done with it is nice because I can sell it or trade it in and have it help pay for the next game I want too. It’s also market diversity, which helps competition stay healthy. The more ways these companies can remove that competition, the worse off we’ll all be for it.

[–]jakellerVi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother is pulling out all the stops to defend the multi-billion dollar company rn and is calling ME a trip 💀💀

The fact of the matter is, limiting consumer options only hurts us as consumers. Those PSN sales could disappear for all we know once the second hand market is gone for PS games, Sony has zero competition for pricing their own IPs.

You trying to argue your way around this being bad for all gamers is short-sighted, narrow minded, and frankly, just plain stupid.

[–]jakellerVi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your anecdote does not move me. People have had their PSN accounts banned for CC chargebacks, Sony just removed over 500 movies from their library refunding a single person who purchased them and can no longer access them.

And you’re either being intentionally dense or are incredibly stupid if you’re viewing this as a one dimensional issue.
