I’m saying, not be cocksure in the ignorance of “That never happened before, surely it’ll never happen in the future”
Because gaming companies have spent the past 15-20 years stripping away our rights and our ownership and our ability to play our games that we’ve paid for.
But this is one we can be sure of, because discs are going away. That’s what started this whole thing. Discs aren’t going to start phoning home when they’re no longer even being manufactured.
Not really, but they’re install disks you can trade in or lend to a friend.
Provided the disc doesn’t require a phoned-in registration key. I think Bioshock started the trend along with limited installations.
Console games aren’t like that, never have been.
Console games also used to be entirely on disk, and didnt require online connections just to play an offline single player game.
Times change.
So you think that they’re going to re-introduce disks and add a “phone home”?

This is the second or third time that “discs are going away forever”
Is it? When were the others, and were digital sales making up ~90% of all game sales at the time?
