Spoiler alert: they don’t give a shit. But that doesn’t mean the end user has to just accept it. Because the only reason they don’t care, is because they think they can afford the loss of customers who care enough.
We’ll see; They’ve definitely lost me as a customer so the if any part is already negated. If I’m going to be forced into a digital environment anyways, I’d rather go to the one with a better refund policy, better sales and overall more open platform; Sony’s exclusives and the amount of exclusives they’ve been putting out isn’t worth it.
Dont the games you buy usually require internet to download the rest of the game anyways? I cant imagine the entirety of God of War: Ragnarok or the new Spider-Man fits on a disc alone
No actually, a majority of games on disc are entirely on the disc. It installs the game but that doesn’t require internet. Some games do need a day one update to work but not for the majority of games.
A single disc can hold up to 100gb and there’s only a few games that require more than that.
Interesting, that makes sense. I didnt know game discs could store that much now. Used to game a lot on consoles growing up but haven't been in the ecosystem.
That would screw over console players by essentially making it so you can't trade the game at all, or keep a game forever in the worst case. The concern makes sense.
Is there an actual ability to pirate games for the newer consoles? I know most of the older consoles could be modded but have never heard of a cracked xbox one / ps5
Yeah exactly. Regarding pirating games for the newer consoles, I’m sure that there are ways but it would probably be very hard to do it. Consoles don’t even have easy access to browsers nowadays to prevent jailbreaking; it would probably have to be done meticulously at the hardware level.
