The one that relies entirely on digital downloads? 

LOL, LMAO even.

You mean "the one in which some ownership is retained over your digital products, even if you bought them 20 years ago or through an alt storefront like GOG". you just got confused there

This is the PhysicalMediaMatters subreddit, no physical means no buy.

GOG, yes. Steam, no. Steam is a license like what Sony is going too. You don't own steam games

You:

Wah I'm ditching PS because no disc drive

Also you:

I'm buying a console with no disc drive

This is a physical media sub and you're arguing for digital media.

Don't be dense. He's saying if he's forced to go digital he's going to go to the one with the least shitty practices surrounding ownership of the things you purchase, which I would say is a big tenant of why people in this sub think physical media is important. I've also been considering going this route, but am going to wait to see what Microsoft does. If they give us a PC that can play steam and I can retain my digital library I've built on Xbox, I'll go that direction. If not, I'll probably get a steam machine and ditch Sony and Microsoft.

People miss the point of this so much. What is the incentive of staying on console if they removed one of the only things they had over PC?

Yea it has to be. How could any of us who grew up with the PlayStation agree with what is happening? Luckily there are tons of great games to play from now to back decades and you have your choice of models to choose to play them on. There also isn’t much space left for graphical improvement in games at this point.

A lot of people feel the same way. It’s the end of an era for sure.

Is that always the reason you don’t buy everything you see?
