Can we finally agree Buying Physical copies of games is the way to go?

Please?

Modern PC physical releases are nothing but Steam installers on CD.

Nah. If your house gets broken into and all your games get stolen then they're gone forever.

>>321451915
Data on cds are all going to deteriorate soon, dvds and blu-rays will last just last longer, but not forever.

I know.

Besides some really expensive special storage media stored in secure locations, the best way to reliably store information is to just keep it distributed and constantly being transferred to new hardware (like what's happening with torrents).

No, I'm better than you because I know how to press the image search button you fucking neanderthal.

The button ls literally right next to the image, but instead of clicking it you ask for a source instead because that's somehow easier than an instant answer at the click of a button.

Physical.

I actually like to own the game instead of just agree to rent it.

Steamniggers are buying glorified DRM.

The point was not to spoonfeed and you fucked it up, anon.

>>321451915
No.

Steam should just allow users to record their games on a physical media (CDs) for this physical vs digital shit end.

They don't? You can't make physical copies of the stuff you download? Jesus christ, then why do people use it? Is it because they have a monopoly?
>>
On consoles, sure. Don't really care on PC. But how do those digital games even work on PS3? Can I sign in to my account on someone else's console and download my games for them?

What would it take for you people to stop buying games digitally all together? Does Gabe have to physically break into your house with a red tank of gasoline & light a match to your entire wallet right in front of you?

We need masterrace cartridges back. Disc begun to suck since gen 6.

Top fucking kek

>>321455192
Pretty much. Even physical PC games are just Steam codes in a box.
>>
>>321451915
They are basically the same thing on PC and on consoles I'd rather have digital so I don't have to listen to the optical drive noise. Also saves space in my apartment.
>>
>>321451915
Are there BD of Slayers available?
>>
>>321455739
Credit card info is not visible on Steam even to yourself, stop spreading lies.

>>321452201
>>321452535
You do realize that digital is way more fickle than physical? Unplug the server and it is gone forever.

Just pirate it then

Have been physical since day 1.

I can only understand digital for vita or if you're a pirate/poorfag. Could not handle not having physical ownership of my games which I sometimes tend to re-sell.
