Given Project 2025 is behind the pressure campaign against steam to deplatform games.
There should be a version that says 'You will own nothing and be miserable'

Should've emulated like a normal person

>sank you for your opinion kind sir!

i know EXACTLY how he feels... I visited home a while back and found out my mom gave away my original PS1 memory card from when i was a kid that had my old maxed out Final Fantasy 7 save file on it.

All you idiot children here making jokes just haven't experienced TRUE LOSS yet... consider yuorselves lucky...........

>>717600695
Imagine being at computers. So fat you look and see fries

Bro just don’t set your video games on fire and this won’t be a problem

>>717600825
Wooden houses can be good if you use timber and other real construction materials and not chipboard supported by two by fours.

No physical media lasts forever.

>buy digital game
>install on thumbdrive
>now it's physical media, and you have as many digital backups as you want

All those games you have on the cloud? I don't think you should have them. The are morally bad. I'm going to ban some and require a government issued photo ID to access the others. You know what? All games are bad, I'm banning access to the rest of them. But thanks for your all your info. Might need it incase I feel like throwing your ass in prison because you looked at a cop funny.

>>717600018
that needs to be made into a show

>>717601234
I mean obviously the disc contains files just like the same files could be on the hard drive, but the most important part of files that are set up on a disc in a "physical portable and playable anywhere" type of way is that they're not tethered via a umbilical cord to some corpo piece of shit "service" with a "login" and "membership" required to function

Explain how Steam lets you install games while you can't play without the launcher and internet?

>solar storm happens
>all digital media gone
Oh no!

>>717604959
A number of games will launch if you click on the exe file

>>717600010
i store my files on the cloud though

>>717605482
Literally not true but ok

>>717605127
A solar storm wouldn't really affect hard drives that much and certainly wouldn't wipe their data.

This pic has been posted hear for many many years. If this was really a big problem I feel like I'd have seen a second example in all that time.

>pfft who needs physical media!
>i'll just upload it to a low earth orbit storage system, that way no natural disast... ACK!

>>717599624 (OP)
>is that a natural disasterino??? I'm never buying physical again! what's the point if there's a 1 in 15,300 chance that I'd lose it anyway???

Safe in my house :)

Physical is pointless. Civilization is going to collapse anyway

>>717609339
This tbqh. If you didn't backup your media by sending it on a high energy tight beam radio transmission toward tau ceti it's basically already gone.

>>717605579
The "cloud" is still a physical place somewhere.

>steam already backs up your game because you own nothing
>back it up anyway thinking you accomplished something
Do PC vegans really?

>>717606523
It's true, but mainly for older games like, say, Quake 4.

Servers that you don’t own

>>717611079
This but unironic

>>717605482
why even try to make this an argument when only like 0.1% of games let you do that?

The problem isn't physical or digital, it's hoarder mentality whether plastic or data. It's poison for the soul. Play a game, beat it, move on with your life.
