11% is still too high. What was the percentage 4 years ago? What about 10?
Do you think it'll go up or down in the next 5 years?

Games that hire known racists should be skipped or pirated imo.

This isn't anything new. Call of Duty does this on consoles, along with plenty of Switch games. UHD physical media doesn't have enough space, and some publishers rather ignore physical game preservation over more disc's. It sucks. It's also way I moved from consoles to PC. Yeah, it's still digital on PC, but for digital media I feel more safe.

No problem, here for you
As Alan Wake 2 and Hogwarts Legacy, won't buy it and will find "another way" to play much later.

A huge majority of games from this generation can be fully playable without downloading a patch. And you know that.

Internet Connection is the name of one of their dlc's. Free with the Ultimate Edition.

20 years ago was the same, you just didn't got the patch and support and played a game on disc full with bugs.
The difference is that then you didn't care if the game was half-assed and wasn't fixed, while now twitter Karens yell because they see a info "Internet required to install the game".
Social media fucked up a lot of things....

It’s bad, but still better than digital as they cannot take away your account that has the game tied to it, etc, etc.

If the disc requires you to connect to the internet to install all data including the Day One patch, then honest to God what is even the difference anymore? That's my main argument with people who are like "Physical media shall never die and there's nothing wrong with it currently". Clearly that's not the case at all, let's be real. I'm all for physical media too, I tend to prefer it, particulary for Switch, but let's call a spade a spade. It's clearly antiquated and doesn't do what you want it to do/ think it still does.

I might have to download the game with the physical disk but I can resell that disk when I’m done with it. I also have multiple purchasing options rather than a single platform storefront.
Until I can do the same with a digital key on consoles, you can fuck right off with the “physical is dead” shit.

YOU CAN SELL THE GAME once you are finished with it. Why is this hard for some of yall to understand?

This is a load of hogwash. The vast majority of games come on disk and don’t require downloads to play.

At this point I honestly think theres some kind of hidden campaign for people to create a word of mouth that internet connection was never a problem so companies can safely do this. I refuse to believe people are this stupid when talking about things they own not working whenever they wanted.

You can always sell disc, paper with code is only good to wipe your ass with it.
Blame Microsoft, vast majority of PS5 games are fully playable from disc

That AAA standard. 
Stuff like this really sucks for those with internet data caps. I'll always miss being able to get in front of a console on day 1, plop a disc in, and play.

I can name a bunch of places here that you can resell your stuff. Mercado Livre, Ebay, Enjoei, etc. And this ignoring the fact that you can hold your games indefinitivelly.
I really suggest you to reconsider this stupid cringe 9 year phrase, it does not make you look cool.

Saber

What reality? I can play all my games without internet. If you can't the onus is on you for bow your head to Star Wars type of games demanding internet to install from a disc.

Why is that? Do you think the game will be pulled from the Playstation or Xbox store in 10 years?

If it ever hypothetically was pulled from store fronts for some sort of licensing issue, then yes, it would be unplayable legally.

Yes, a huge majority now, but for how long?
Then there is the other issue of some publishers not releasing some games on disc at all!
I'm not a fan of digital only. I'd rather have all my games on physical disc. However, the fact is that it's becoming harder to go physical and in the future it's only going to get harder.

This game came out 10 years ago, Disney owned license, now expired. The game released in june 2013 and was delisted on Jan 2014 so it wasnt even available for a full year until it got remastered (and delisted again after lol)
You cannot purchase it digitally anymore and the only way to play it legitimately if you didn't buy it back then is to buy a disc.
There are many examples like this.
Sinfulgore
Member
Not true. Delisting a game for licensing reasons just prevents a publisher from selling it, it doesn't make it unplayable. Most times when a game is delisted it can still be redownloaded by people who already purchased it or played if you already have the game downloaded. I feel like people here are confusing needing the internet to install and needing internet to play, these are two different things.

Depends on the parameters set for each instance. If you already own the digital copy, it would be playable. I'm talking about those that buy this physical copy that requires the internet, post delisting, it could possibly present a new problem. Ubisoft could prevent it from activating/downloading content, it would be within their capacity.
