Good on you for admitting that you're a cheap, entitled, selfish, scumbag. It's a refreshing bit of honesty.

You got me, I just made it all up!
C'mon now, get your head out of the sand and do some simple research. You'll find that these statements are true:
As of January 2024 Best Buy has starting pulling ALL movies on physical media from their stores.
Disney has ceased releasing movies on Blu-ray and DVD in countries such as Australia, with more to come.
Sales of movies on physical media peaked at $16 b...
@Hugodastrevas
It's certainly your choice as to whether or not you purchase digital games. But what makes you think you have the right to steal games? Gaming is a privilege. No one owes you anything, and your attitude toward piracy is one of the reasons why physical media is on the decline.
@Yui_Suzumiya
I was referring to the piracy issue.
@ Phoenix Wing
It's likely that there are people still interested in collecting physical copies of movies. But there are not enough to sustain the platform. Those "millions" of potential customers don't purchase the same titles, so most Blu-Ray movies only sell in the low thousands, not enough to warrant a pressing. Retail sellers are also eliminating Blu Ray discs from their stores because the merchandise is not selling at a rate that is profitable. Like ...
Blu-ray sales are tanking. The format is in the process of abandonment and will soon be relegated to die-hard movie fans and collectors.
Gee, I wonder why publishers are in favor of a digital platform? You're part of the problem.
"I'm not even in the US and I can tell you're a republican"
You have the gall to call other people simple minded and then follow it up with that ignorant statement. It's obvious that you're one of those nitwits that only thinks in binary terms, Democrat vs Republican, PlayStation vs Xbox etc. Putting people in readily defined boxes makes it much easier for shortsighted individuals like yourself to understand complicated issues. The problem is that ...
Exactly.
Get off your soapbox and stop with the faux indignation. Whenever there is a merger or acquisition between two companies there are always layoffs. ALWAYS. Stop pretending like this situation is an outlier.
I grew up in Massachusetts's. Elizabeth Warrern is one of the least respected politicians in this county, and that is saying a lot. She's an absolute idiot who does nothing but complain, without offering viable solutions, and jump on any hot button issue that pa...
You're the troll.
The CCPA only allows an individual to opt out of the sale of collected data. It also allows one to delete SOME of the personal information collected by corporations. This act (not law) only supports residents of California. The Virginia Consumer privacy Data Protection Act provides the same rudimentary protection for residents of that state,
The GDPR still allows data collection as long as there is a legal reason to do so, which can be as simple as a user agreement on a p...
Perfect Dark Zero was the first game that I purchased for my XBOX 360. I still have the game in my collection. I think I played it for about 45 minutes in total over the past 18 years. It's a really bad game, and I was so disappointed when I first fired it up almost 20 years ago.
Could you provide some examples of "privacy laws" which have been amended in the last 10 years,
These are some great additions to the service!
"Boldly Go Where We Have Never Gone Before"
Lucidity?
I'm interested in purchasing this game, but I won't do it until al the features have been implemented and the bugs have been ironed out. Which likely means at least 6-12 months from now. By then it will probably be worth the discounted price.
@nuetralgamer
"we want to own our games..."
I believe what you meant to say is, "I want to own my games", which is totally cool. But you don't speak for everyone.
I don't collect, replay or sell my physical copies of games. I typically play a game once and then give it to my nephews/nieces or donate it to a less fortunate individual. Lately I find myself leaning toward the convenience of digital and the varie...
@SullysCigar
So, if you sold Dead Space one month after its release for 2/3 of what you paid for it (approximately $75 including tax) your expenditure is $25. If the same title was on Gamepass it would be a better deal to sign up, because a one-month subscription to Ultimate is only $14.99 and it also gives you access to hundreds of games
@ Kornholic
There is no rule that states one must keep their Gamepass subscription in perpetuity. A four-month subscription to Gamepass costs less than a single copy of Dead Space and it includes access to hundreds of titles. If Dead Space was added to the service and you wanted to play this game, then the decision to sign up would make total sense.
Access to hundreds of titles PLUS Dead Space for four months costs less than a retail copy of the game, how...
Now I'm going to tell them even harder.
