Dumb ass shyt? I hand games over to my nephew and brother all the time. I don't want to hand over a drive or access to my account for them to play a game. I don't want to authorized their system so it can play my games and I also can't sell whatever it is I apparently own. No transfer of rights because I have none.Don’t know why y’all keep saying this dumb shyt.
You already can have as many backups as you want, and servers turning off won’t make your backups stop working.
You make no sense at all.If you cannot access the internet without that mandatory installation you think your game gonna work??? Yeah sure you can possibly play the game OFFLINE on the harddrive, but what happens when you play only mulitplayer games and you need the server to maintain a constant connection??? What happens if all you dudes play is madden 2k and fortnite only?!?!
I mean why would I want to take that unnecessary risk man???
You make no sense at all.
The nikkas playi g foetnite, madden, 2k - whether on the discless Xbox or the disc capable ps5 - will work or not work the same fukking way if Putin EMPs our internet. fukk are you talking about?
95% of my games are currently digital and innthe rate occurrence of my internet going out... I'm still able to play locally.
Sony has done foul shyt like banned accounts for chargebacks on purchases you didn't authorize or they refused to refund and PSN accounts are notoriously hacked.They can’t stop you from playing games you already purchased and downloaded to local storage.
So you don’t want to use all the options that are better and give you more options than carrying discs around, and you wonder why I called this dumb shyt???Dumb ass shyt?

Subscription service is very different than a digital purchase.......more dumb shytYou keep falling for that okey doke. You gonna learn that you just leasing what you think you own one day. PS+ for example says they give you free games as part of the membership you buy into but as soon as you don't pay for that membership you can't access those games... But I can't game online without that membership.
No, this is not true. As I explained above, you can have as many backups as you want of digital games, and play them whenever/wherever you want.When we go digital the ball will be entirely in their court. If you are comfortable with giving away domain over your purchases go ahead. I'll be tapping out.

If I have a disc then my purchase isn't tied to a specific account. I can resell the disc or do as I see fit with it. If I sell the system I can package the discs with it for extra added value. I can trade a disc with another person for a game I don't have.
Having a physical disc gives you extra flexibility and options. Buying digital only makes you depend on the platform holder. It also means your entire collection is dependent on your ability to access your account.
Even when your account is banned, you don’t lose access to the games you already have on your system.Sony has done foul shyt like banned accounts for chargebacks on purchases you didn't authorize or they refused to refund and PSN accounts are notoriously hacked.
Different not better. Having access to your entire library of games either on a hard drive or in the cloud is actually more flexible than your ownership being tied to each individual disc.If I have a disc then my purchase isn't tied to a specific account.

Exactly I don't want my ownership of a game dependent on my ability to access an account. If for some reason I can no longer access that account I lose all my games.Dumb ass shyt?

It's like people forgot about when this went down
The ability to buy something and actually own it means something. You don't really own a digital copy because you don't control your ability to access it.

I know I own the game because I can resell it and get my money backNo you fukking dummy.
When you buy a disc you don’t own the game. You own the right to play it. You always need to keep up with that disc to prove to the system that you have the right to play the game.
When you buy a game digitally, your right to play is proven in two places. One on the sever, and one locally. If you lose the server you can still play the game locally. If you lose your local save, you can still prove your right to play through the server.
Digital ownership gives you MORE options, not less.
