    I’m just so tired of seeing 50 posts about this. If you use consoles in 2026 you have bigger problems than not having discs for your games. On PC physical media is unnecessary because you can just back up your files.

      Hell yeah, I have 600GB (and counting) of FLACs on my self-hosted streaming setup

      I’m fine with DRM as long as I can break it.

      … in a jurisdiction with no anticircumvention laws, of course. 😶

      I agree, but we can’t really expect every person to have the space to store all of their favourite media. Especially now that AI has ruined the price of hard drives.

      Given modern internet speeds, the ability to delete and redownload games is actually a handy feature of digital. Though given Sony’s track record of deleting “purchased” media from customers’ accounts, I sure as shit wouldn’t trust them. Hell, I barely trust Steam.

        Well, physical space is also at a premium since housing prices never became sane. and this way, I was able to migrate between different places much easier
