Buying digital games has become game preservation for me.

[Rice N Beans]

That’s old shyt. I’m talking about modern games going forward.

I'm talking about the title, game preservation, which doesn't apply goalpost moving and age limitations at your leisure. Complain these techniques are about playing old shyt, but herald being able to play old shyt in your opening post.

I might have a new sig with this exchange.

It’s the same terms you get with a physical game.

Have you read/compared them


It’s the same for books, movies, and all other form of media. You are buying a license to use it, not own it.

Double down on your poor skimming, brehjito.

With a physical game a banned account isn't an issue.
Game access persist across accounts. With a digital game if you suffer an account getting banned the game is stuck tied to it.

Also if a company says you violated their terms of service you absolutely can lose access to all the games you purchased as you agreed to their terms of service when you registered an account with them.

A game is always tied to your account when you buy it digitally.

But you also will always have access to said game to play offline.

Online, it doesn’t matter if you buy it physically or digitally, you can get banned.

What's up with your personal thought threads lately ?

Is this the new meach ?

Have you finally put down Spinism and become a worthy poster

The thread title says “HAS BECOME” the op clearly details future plans. I’m clearly not taking about preservation of Sega genesis games

Seems you just came in to say dumb shyt and are scrambling for an angle now.

And please add another Sig, you are only archiving your own ignorance. Just like you ran away from the other thread, a couple years from now I will come back and laugh at how wrong you are.

Double down on your poor skimming, brehjito.

Go read. Compare a physical game license to a digital one and come back brehjito.

As usual you are ignorant and confident as fukk, but wrong.

I'm guessing you don't have every game you've ever purchased on your console all at once.

Nobody seeks out getting an account ban but I've had to do a chargeback in my life because a company screwed me and told me to kick rocks and that will result in getting an account ban.

With physical games you can easily transfer the license to a new account. With digital games those licenses are effectively revoked with the banned account.

Stop it, you are creating a ridiculous scenario of getting lifetime banned for no reason. That doesn’t happen unless you fukking deserve it, in which case you probably aren’t/shouldn’t be buying a bunch of digital games.

Don’t look at child porn on your PSN and you never have to worry about this.

And even then, as long as you are offline you have access to the game. You have to maintain it on your end just like you do a physical game. A HD(isk)D is still a disk and can be used and transferred in the same way a disk can.

This is like me creating a random scenario and saying “what if you get robbed” you can’t play your physical games then

If you own crypto, better not lose that password

Man Who Forgot Bitcoin Password Makes 'Peace' with $250 Million Loss: 'Time Heals All Wounds'

Cold world.

I don't bother to remember them anymore. Especially for work. I keep a spreadsheet on my phone. My phone is password protected and that is the only one that I actively choose to remember.

You mentioned old (15 years) games still being playable in your preservation post as a boon. I do the same and suddenly it doesn't matter, that generation is too old and akin to the Sega Genesis.

And please add another Sig, you are only archiving your own ignorance.

I'll get to it, don't you worry.

Just like you ran away from the other thread, a couple years from now I will come back and laugh at how wrong you are.

I don't run from Meach. He mindlessly quotes me.

Wrong about what? It's an opinion: Emulation and dumping are the best ways to preserve. Until companies start to value the accessibility of their own catalogues, there's no better way than to let the people handle it. Even replication of online services (both current and past) have shown to be possible.

Ease of access is of course best on whatever is officially supported, but preservation shouldn't live and die on what will make the most money in order to be future playable.

Like I said, you just wanted some attention.

Do better little buddy

I'll get to it, don't you worry.

You quoted me goofball.

Your opinion is wrong and based of ignorance.

Again. Do better

No response. Who could have foreseen this?

My first reply in this thread contained no quote. You do all the thirst seeking.

A new account can't even buy Forza 7 digitally from the MS store. That's already an issue with leaving preservation to the publishers in a digital fashion. Accessibility is a key component to preservation.

Once all copies are sold You can’t walk in the store and buy Forza 7 either.

But if you already own it you can play and re-download it indefinitely. You lose your disk you no longer have the game period.

 

[Why-Fi]

Oh Gamepass is different. If you don’t own it you can’t go back. But they usually give you a good warning and a discount to buy games before they are removed.

in an ironic twist to my earlier comments...it occurred to me that I could use the disc.

in support of them, all my progress is still here

This started because of a thread that said people prefer physical discs and he’s peeved about it

 

[FromStLouis]

Team Digital, Team GamePass.

It's easier these days to find cool collector's items I'd rather spend my money on.

 

[Return of the Jedi]

I'll be honest; I'm a physical gaming guy but lost/sold all physical games as a kid. Since college (so roughly a decade now), I've been REALLY good about holding onto my physical games.
