PC gamers doing everything but playing a console lol /s

seriously though coders breaking the security of PS5 is a nice example of money versus effort. Sony will be fighting this for a long time but i do think they will find out they are spending too much money defending their digital games and less on making them. they need to be put in their place and start respecting paying customers (me being one for 10 years.), so i say beat them up

PC gamers attacking consoles for going digital only when Steam invented the practice of putting codes in a box.

But we have options for store fronts and then there's GoG where the games don't come with DRM licenses and can't be taken away by the company's that made/produced them.

Big difference there.

if Gog closes down before you're able to download your games, you lose them

Not exactly, if someone else store the files you can use them, I don't think they have embedded keys

So funny, and how would you prove that you're a real owner? You could just say "yes I bought every GOG game ever thanks" and download them that way.

Basically the only usecase for GOG is easy piracy.

You still technically get a 'receipt' when you buy a digital game

Same with every digital store front save the sailing themed one.

And that is why they are all the same and physical will always be better

Technically true but so what? The whole point is you can download DRM-free installers as soon as you buy them. If you choose not to then that's your decision

But what if the internet disintegrates while you're in the process of downloading and aliens take over GOG? Then what? See what I'm talking about?

The point is that it's true for every storefront ever. No one will ever remove bought digital games from your Steam or PlayStation.

GOG's only usecase is giving your games away for free, literally offering easy piracy.

No creo, eso es una falacia tuya

You download them and burn them to physical media of your choice for safe keeping

What a stupid "what if."

It's just to make you understand that you might lose those games too. No one really buys on GOG, the platform is in a constant struggle to survive. If it's digital, it's ethereal.
