They're expecting people to give in. It's easier to buy something digitally, but it sure as hell ain't better. They are counting on us shrugging our shoulders, throwing our hands up, but ultimately giving up and giving in.
Don't.
The people who have an issue with Sony's business practices are already not buying their products, like me for instance.
They've already decided that they don't want you as a customer. It's like telling your boss, "You can't fire me; I quit."
The last thing I need is more crap around the house. I vastly prefer digital, as long as I get the files and can do anything I want with them.
I am opposed to DRM, but digital itself is far preferable. When I travel knowing I can grab any game I want from my server (before or even after I arrive) and play it on any device I want is far superior to having to carry around physical items that only work with one device - a device I also would have to bring with me.
The problem is people already gave in when they choose a system that is useless for anything except one specific purpose and one specific game format.
Your last sentence fits perfectly about their hardware.
Far preferable? lmao you are ignorant beyond imagination
Yes. Far preferable and I gave you reasons why.
Care to comment on that, or just going to sling insults?
It is better for many people. It all depends on what you prefer. I personally prefer having a full digital library that I can share via home console sharing, that I can access at any time from any Internet connected console at any time, that I don’t have to worry about my kids damaging or losing my disks, and that I can just buy and play at any time of day. I’m middle aged with kids, I’m not loaning games to friends or trading games in.
It costs more of my time to drive to the shops to buy a game than I’d save over buying digital, and as you get older you understand that time is the most important thing you have.
I have 1 physical PS5 disc. Everything else is digital. I get the convenience factor. But after Sony just deleted over 500 movies that people bought from their library, I don't trust Sony. So even preferring digital, I will never buy another digital product from them. I'll still play wolverine and other exclusives, but I'm buying physical. And used, because fuck you Sony, you aren't getting another cent from me. I've had every single console, including the vita and PS+ since the ps3, that recently got canceled when the stopped letting you stack membership.
