Why are you still a physical luddite?
Because my internet is too shitty to go full digital
Because I have a bandwidth cap.
Speaking of, I got 1gb to spend, need a game. Recommendations?
>>321422936
Call your ISP and tell them they're scumbags
nobody should put up with that shit
Can't wait for the death of online distribution.
Then we will all say how much CDs and DVDs were better.
>>321423060
What ISP? I have to usb tether a prepaid phone. There are no ISPs in the country friendo.
Read only memory.
Very useful in certain situations.
>>321422725
because my wife's boyfreind didnt want to pay for hi speed internet
Because I buy games to do whatever I want to do with them, in them, to them.
I don't rent games for the company to decide to stop access to my version because they released an HD edition.
>>321423195
I don't think what you're telling me is true at all.
>>321423150
why exactly would it die?
I do in steam because my shit can carry over to a new pc on a whim
No such lucury exists on consoles
>>321422725
Because Gaben can't come to my house and suck the data off my San Andreas disc.
Of course not. It's always more fun to have a physical copy. Just take care of it and don't be poor cucks.

>>321423195

>>321423294
This, my wife's son told me straight up if I try to download another game her boyfriend is going to fuck me up because he doesn't have money to waste on bandwidth.
>>321423798
Seriously, how did they get away with that?
Digital:
-The source file being downloaded can be altered at any time by the publisher, including removing "problematic" content
-Requires the long-standing establishment of a digital distribution architecture that is supported by a corporation. If the corporation goes under or decides to stop providing the service, you lose your games
-If you bought your games for a previous console, there is no guarantee that those purchases are valid on the next console (thanks Sony)
>>321423150
You are literally hoping for the death of convenience and thus you sound fucking stupid.
Your petty attitude reaks of "I play my games on PS4. Enjoy your limited library and paid online, you bitter fuck.
>physical vs digital
You guys are a bunch of retards.They're both digital data on a physical storage device. You can burn downloaded games on a disk or mirror them on an external HDD.
>>321423798 is kinda right, but that's a problem with Steam/DRM, not digital distribution.
>>321422725
>games lost or uninstalled can usually be recovered without hassle

What is buying online
>digital games frequently go on sale
Online retailers often discount their games, also places like GameFly sell their physical games for dirt cheap
>supply is infinite so finding a copy is never an issue
Most new games are mass-produced in such amounts that they will never be hard to find

Having a physical game which can also be downloaded is the best arrangement, best of both worlds.

I'm not going to do meth, i'm just going to live with her. She can get an apartment but no internet since she has shit credit and owes bills. I can get internet because no credit and no bills, but not an apartment because no money. She'll pay for the internet, I have to sign up for it. Then I have to get a job.
>>321422725
I use both because each has their own advantages over the other, fight me

There has to be some weird psychological thing about playing games on their original system. When I'm on a PC I just feel so distracted, like I could be doing one of a thousand other things, but when I'm playing a handheld there's nothing there but the game to play.
>>321422725
>Servers go down
>lose all games forever
>>321424345
That last point goes for physical too.
>take care of your shit and that stuff doesn't happen. But I guess digital owners can still get their games after thieves plundered their houses and bank accounts, good for them
Point is, discs do degrade and die over time, digital dont fail unless your harddrive does, and even then its very easy to get a new copy from the internet (store or otherwise)
>don't be a lazy fuck. I actually enjoy browsing through games in the store
ok, you can do the same from the comfort of your home though
>everything except Nintendo games get massive discounts after a while, with the GOTY version ending up in the garbage bin for 5 bucks (also, friendly reminder that you're paying for a non-existent box and manual with digital)
true you are (some do come with extra stuff as well), this is why in theory digital games should be cheaper, which is true due to sales from places like steam,gog or humble shop
>rarely a problem
you act like this is a joke but it isnt
>wow, swapping a disk so hard
fair enough its not hard, its just extra hassle. Like for xbox its stupid how you install a game on a hard drive but then need to have the cd in the tray every time, its just wasting time.
>you also can't lend digital to a friend. Hell you're renting the game yourself
What is Piracy?
Hell my bro just copied over stronghold to my pc so we could play together, its not that hard
>>321426318
You don't lose your library over a VAC ban though
>>321426478
That's not an issue I have
>>321425793
>you also can't lend digital to a friend
>what is family sharing
Because American internet is becoming worse than it already is.
>neo-/v/ will defend DRM cuckoldry
Absolutely pathetic
>>321426994
Don't play dumb, if you by a physical copy you're still buying a license, and you are still subject to rules concerning how you can use it.
>Rarely goes on sale.
In the case of PS4 games, physical media sells for less anyway. So why would I care about waiting for sales?
>>321427161
Physicsl discs are tangible, Gabe can't bust my door down and take them away like GTA San Andreas or Yohjo Simulator.
Stay cucked, bitch.
>>321422725
I like physical because if the console takes a shit after the servers are shut down then I'm fucked. If I have the physical game I can just buy a new console.
Buying physical and pirating is the only correct way of life.
>>321427296
This. Remember there have been many court cases distinctly backing this notion about physical property. No such protections exist in the digital space.

Get ready to get asked to go out late at night waiting in your running car for your granda to suck this dick right quick, and also stuff of yours randomly going missing like the $60 you had last night on the coffee table.

>>321427845
None of those would by design allow to circumvent you access to a product you paid for way after the transaction had been done.
Call me when digital doesn't come tied with shitty clients that aims to do so, along with taking away your rights to sell,lend or gift your bought copies.
There is no objective reason for digital games to be same full price as physical.
>>321428193
>None of those would by design allow to circumvent you access to a product you paid for way after the transaction had been done.
except starforce and secuROM did exactly that because they were fucking pieces of shit and publishers had to patch them out because of the backlash. also, you do know about limited installations? because, you know, that was a thing 10 years ago
>>321428082
>THOSE EXAMPLES DONT COUNT LEAVE MUH BASED GAY BEN ALONE
This is why we call you PCucks.
>>321428043
Literally all the DRM you listed is for PCucks. Maybe if you would stop pirating games for your toaster this wouldn't happen.
>>321428480
lel. consoles are DRM-boxes themselves, m8
>>321428368
They didn't do this by design. They did this because they were pieces of shit. Same difference to you. To me at least it matters: the publishers were forced to patch them out eventually because of the backlash.
There would be no backlash nowadays with digital platform give how they've been trained to abandon and disregard their rights.
>>321428287
I remember when Iwata made up some bullshit about how having lower prices would devalue the product, that's why they, Nintendo at least, keep digital games at the same price as the physical. It's for our benefit, so we know we're buying a quality product.
>>321422725
Better question: Why are you still using a HDD instead of a SSD?
>>321428575
Uh huh because we have to input CD keys or codes from the manual right? Stay cucked, BRfag.
>>321428853

More storage space for less money.
>>321428659
>There would be no backlash nowadays with digital platform give how they've been trained to abandon and disregard their rights.
not really. there's no backlash because it doesn't hinder playing games. also, what rights are infringed, pray tell me? please don't reply with "valve can remove games literally whenever they want :^)" because I'm going to get fucking pissed
>>321426478
I FUCKING KNEW IT! I feel the same way, I knew this had some psychological shit to it. Could relate to how PC gamers have hundreds of games but don't play them, just the same old tired garbage. I was the same way, but physical and I go through entire games. I don't know how it's possible or what contributes to it.
>>321422725
I stopped once I felt fairly confident that by the time Valve went out of business or Steam took it's servers down, I'd probably be done playing games or dead.
Ironic, because I was the last person to pick Steam up among my friends, but now I'm probably more integrated as a whole than any of them.

The rights to send, lend or gift your legitimately bought copies.
Please don't reply with "you don't own the game" because I'm going to get fucking pissed.

I can pick up my games, caress them and place them on a shelf.

>>321430154
I guess not.
>>321429519
Yes, that "licensing agreement" is bullshit in most civilized countries though.
You're allowed to lend, sell or gift a bought copy of a game of a product under first sale doctrine.
European court judged this applied to digital licenses as well.
Regardless, that still something you had/have with physical copies that's been taken away from you for no valuable trade off, and no acceptable reason with digital.

Can't gift no, and "lending" under family sharing isn't really the same.

It's amusing that Steam turned me from a day one full price buyer into a fuck them pirate.
