Dariusmiles2123 , to Technology in ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services

As long as you have a way to download the data that ain’t a problem for me, but if one day Sony or EA closes without giving the update data to be available for everyone that would be a problem.

Still I don’t see the advantage for them to only put the early stages on the disc. Are they saving money this way?

It’s good that people are worrying about this. Although, I haven’t heard of any disc game not being able to be played. I guess it would only happen if Sony/Microsoft go bankrupt or decide to close PlayStation/Xbox game updates servers.

It ain’t likely to happen but it’s important to be able to preserve games for the future as they are part of history just like paintings.

I can understand piracy when they take away something you’ve already bought, but I’d not want to do it for something I haven’t bought yet.

I wanna be able to support people creating what I like.

That’s why I’ll keep buying physical for the games or movies I love.

The only question I have is what’s gonna happen as game discs are just becoming an access token to download the game and its updates.

I’d have nothing against digital games or movies if you didn’t see such behaviors.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Games in PlayStation names Hermen Hulst and Hideaki Nishino as its new CEOs

It’ll be interesting to see what it changes for us consumers.

What I’m happy to see is that they talk less about games as a service lately.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Games in Final Fantasy Maker Square Enix Will Aggressively Pursue a Multiplatform Strategy After Profits Tumble

I’ve played FFVII remake and I’ve played 45 hours of rebirth and I’m enjoying it so far.

Maybe less than the original but I guess I’ve changed in 25 years and I want more mature and less japanese dialogues.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Games in Final Fantasy Maker Square Enix Will Aggressively Pursue a Multiplatform Strategy After Profits Tumble

I’m fine with this as long as I’m still getting FFVII part.3 on PlayStation.

To be honest I don’t really care about exclusives and I think it should just be for first party developers.

Although I wouldn’t mind getting Gears of War on PlayStation.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Technology in Bloomberg - Apple Says No Major App Developers Accept New Outside Payments

I can’t read the article, but I ain’t surprised by the fact that no one wants to pay more than what Apple is already billing.

They are clearly trying to circumvent the rules just like the bad company they are.

Still I have to admit that their hardware and software is quite good even if I ain’t a fan.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Games in Ghost of Tsushima, on Steam, will be unavailable in countries without PSN

Except getting more user information, I don’t really see the big advantage for Sony so it’d be interesting to know why they want to require a PSN account in countries where you can’t get one.

Also I’d want to know why you can’t get one in some countries.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Games in Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam

I loved the world, enjoyed its story but didn’t like the combat as it felt a bit messy and I felt overpowered as a hacker.

After two playthroughs, I’ll probably do the expansion at one point but I don’t know if I should play it from one of my playthrough or from a new save.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Games in Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam

Played it two times on ps5. Once on 1.50 and once on 2.0. I haven’t experienced crazy glitches..

Dariusmiles2123 , to Patient Gamers in Patient gamers, what are your favourite city builders?

Sim City 2000 used to be my game and I’m looking for the same vibe on a non-demanding game I can play on my Surface Go 1 with Fedora.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Technology in iFixit hails replaceable LPCAMM2 laptop memory as a 'big deal'

Good news I guess as I’ll never again buy a new computer which can’t be upgraded in the long term.

It ain’t my vision anymore and I hope more and more consumers think about buying second hand or buying upgradeable computers.

Dariusmiles2123 , to Games in Just finished MGS2 and wanted to share a peak moment (Mild Spoilers)

Incredible game series until Kojima went crazy with its base management and soldier recruitment.

MGSV was such a disappointment that I’m trying to erase it from my memory.
