Now, digital stores emphasizes digital games are licenses, not ownership

[Stare best girl]

don't support the mandatory digital-only bullshit Nintendo has been pushing lately. The industry's fucked and has been for a long time.

it's more 3rd-parties fault for using that piece of shit instead using 64GB carts while Nintendo has the fault for make that shit as a option instead of more sizes

in Xbox is even worse as Microsoft not longer makes its games in physical and instead prefers let fucking Limited Run make the work

I could have sworn that snippet has been on Steam for ages now. Anyway, yeah, that's digital storefronts for you. So convenient, eh?
Buy on GoG, buy physical, don't support the mandatory digital-only bullshit Nintendo has been pushing lately. The industry's fucked and has been for a long time.

True that, been doing the same for years, collect them games and emulator to preserve for life and 100gb M disks blue ray bdxl on Amazon, the good main brand, can last for hundreds of years and easily longer than our lifespan, and than external hard drives and then micro sd card sandisk extreme for best reliabilty for years, I never had a problem for 8+ years using them. You can't trust these companies at all before we kmow it they could even ban emulators sp best to back them up as well since evil has ran amuck anymore in companies and nobody seems to be able to do much yet at least.

Honestly, screw it, this is why Switch emulation / hacks are good, alongside physical carts and things like GOG. Any game (be a ROM or fully offline copy) that can never be revoked remotely and doesn't need yet another account to function will always work and are fully owned files no matter how much time passes, it's just necessary to have this alternative more than ever.

At this point I buy to support the devs and I get another copy on the internet to actually play it, without having to deal with the intendo account bullshit, I just don't care anymore.
