What do you mean woke corporations? How does that affect you?
By politicizing games, ruining them with their agenda, and in a hundred other ways.
With this news, I have to wonder how much longer bluray will live. Will we continue seeing new bluray releases of movies and TV shows for decades, or are their days numbered? The loss of console gaming presumably removes a guaranteed revenue source that was keeping Bluray pressing plants alive. Sales of DVDs and Bluray have been declining for years [1] [3] . Some people have been excited pushing the news that UHD blu…

>dedicated player from Sony blows it away If I might give you a heads up here, they are not the best. For a reference player look at Magnetar. My dream setup is a Magnetar UDP 900 MK II and a Leica Cine 1...
> Leica Cine 1 Didn't even know there was such a thing... Knowing Leica cameras, I'm afraid to ask about the price. Well, like they say: if you have to ask... :)
Discs are less convenient so people have slowly moved to digital sales. This worked even better for console manufacturers, cheaper to drop that disc reader, and the second hand market is effectively dead which increases new game sales. The side-effect most people didn't consider is that you never really own a digital copy. And the most relevant part is that you cannot transfer/sell a digital copy. For everything else…

Game companies should have to submit full copies of everything to run the game , servers and clients to the Library of Congress or Smithsonian for preservation

i’m a console gamer from 10+ years, bear my stupid question isn’t this the same with steam? can i buy a game on steam and copy and use it on another pc i own without downloading it from steam again?
