Your happiness is very fickle.

Most gamers have steam libraries and not a single disc to show for it. They're not sad about it....

You should burn your faux outrage to a goddamn disc and add it to your priceless collection. Im sure it will look great between your Star Craft II box and some cobwebs.

Better than the padded cell you belong in

Lol disagreeing with your perspective is insane? Alrighty....

[–] matthurtme@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

No just observing your insane behavior

I'm saying I think discs are just becoming a thing of the past, like VHS and cassette tapes. It's kind of crazy and unhinged to act like these companies haven't done the market research and seen that most people make mainly digital media purchases these days. Frankly, you seem crazed by the latest outrage.

Oh they did they're own in house focus groups? Of course they get to cherry pick their wanted results. You are in the minority. There are more people that don't want this than do. If you can't pull your head out of your ass and look around you, then you should deal with being called crazy. Your shitty opinion is against the popular public opinion

They compare sales numbers, genius.

The existence of an angry mob means nothing. Money talks.

Wow, insightful, and not at all a crazy reply...

Delulu

The same gamers that are spending their time complaining about GTAVI having no disc also helped it beat pre-sales records.

You're being a silly child.

Show me how many people other than yourself who are actually happy about this. You are definitely the delusional one whose opinion is in the minority

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I didn't say I was happy about it, I said I don't care. The mob noises are immaterial.

And, nutjob, a minority opinion is not inherently wrong. Like I said, money talks, and I think you're crazy if you think this is the end of gaming in any respects and not just things organically changing on account of several factors, the main one being the observable behavior of gamers as reflected in sales data...

Dude just go gluck on the rich Epstein classes dick some more. This is bullshit, it's killing the industry and you know it. This isn't a natural progression of how the industry should be going. This is blatant corporate bullshit and greed because the orange pedophile slashed laws for consumer protections. Get fucked troll, you're in the minority and just can't do anything but double and triple down on your bad take because you dug yourself to far in already on a dumb, deluded view. This is NOT how people want consumer axioms to shift fuckhead. You probably don't even have bills to pay living in your parents basement, that's why you're so, "Oh yeah! Peg me HARDER SONY!" I bet you toss money away on shit like AI girlfriends too. Pathetic, deluded, insane and sad. I seriously pity you
