I really don’t, because this kind of thing already has existed but you’d still own the game. Streaming games from your PS4 to Vita and PC to other devices.

I can’t get why this isn’t easy to get.

Friend, you can be condescending when you can use accurate comparisons.

That’s a very silly way to look at things given people are playing games from the 80s or earlier to this day. Often on original hardware, or not.

Used games physical copies have no value if they are not supported anymore. It was true in the 90s because you were getting the complete game, now, you’re not, you’re getting a physical “DRM” check when you buy a game. It IS true that you can sell those copies WHILE still being supported.

Yes, despite what a company wants to tell you, you can sell, melt, lend out any game disc you own. Someone else can sign into your account and get the game digitally off your account. - But what if the account is unreacheable, or the service ceases to exist? Same problem, you lose.

I wouldn’t know, I don’t go to the movies. I buy them when they come out on disc, because they’re usually 20 bucks and a company can’t yank it out of my hands later for dumb reasons.

Eh, everyone seems more content with defending faceless corporations than their basic consumer rights. Nevermind how what you said makes a lot of sense and I’m sure that’ll be excused away too by these people who see forward thinking as conspiracy theories.

I’m sure they said the same thing about day one DLC, on disc DLC, map packs, microtransactions, season passes and loot boxes. Remember horse armor? I mean now they sell skins and it’s in almost every game. They sell cheats now you know!

Do you see many games released like that these days? How many unfinished games appear for consoles of the last 3 generations?

Brotha the end times for consumer rights are at an end!

It’s not even just the fact that many people can’t do such things with the internet, but also that these games if server based via cloud are dead when the servers go down. You can’t preserve the data because they never sold it.

You’re the 9th person to tell me this information and the 9th person I’m going to tell is wrong. Maybe not the right number, I lost count.

Yeah, uh the Star Fox 2 example is relevant because if a game become exclusive to a streaming service? That’s impossible. And my point. That game is dead the moment the servers go down. You can’t play it, you can’t rent, borrow, pirate it’s GONE. It’s not like netflix where a recording of it would be the same…

Let me explain clearly why this isn’t the case.

You guys really gotta stop spewing this EULA nonsense because no, that’s not how it works. I can’t SELL my photoshop license, I can’t lend it to someone, I can’t trade it, borrow it. But a game disc? You can do ANYTHING you want with it. It, is, yours. Buy it, sell it, trade it, display it, use it as a coaster, lend…

Dude I’m in the same boat, I play less games and I play a lot of them on the Switch, but as you said in the last paragraph it’s a scary thought to lose the OPTION. Like if you want to waste extra money on something they’re gonna screw you out of later? Fine. But I’m scared RE8 will not have that luxury.

You’re the 6th person to tell me this and it’s wrong.

I don’t know how I can make this point anymore clear. How and where do you and others expect this discussion to happen?

Resident Evil 7 on disc: You can play it any time you want on any console, sell it, trade it with a friend, lend it to them, use it as a coaster. It’s yours for as long as you keep it.
