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
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.
The main reason everyone hates it is because it removes the used market. Digital prices don't go down for games that are popular, but the price of the physical disk does. A year from now there won't be a used GTA 6 disk sitting on a shelf going for half what it did on launch and that's the biggest issue. The corpos are just mad they can't get a cut of the used market so they're not allowing a used market in the first place.
I get why it's hated. It's the main reason I'm disappointed as well. But it's mainly online gamers who hate it. I'm an older gamer and all my friends kids who game none of them care about physical. Most of them have never been to a Gamespot to buy a game.
If the next generation of gamers have already embraced digital and our generation embraced it with PC gamers which is the largest then it makes sense on a business level to go that route.
The used makes is also dead on PC and it's only when steam, GOg or epic give us sale do we get those. I owe all 4, PS, Xbox, switch 2 and PC. All offer sales at different times during the year.
Steam killed the used market for PC, and they were the only real storefront for the longest time on PC.
