Well, Sony have announced the elimination of physical media for games.
And it's a bad, dumb idea.
There are a lot of takes out there right now as to why it is and some of them carry more weight than others. Your mileage may vary, as always.
However there is one thing that I feel becomes undeniable: once Sony controls their own marketplace, they have a monopoly.
And that is bad for everyone.
For me, personally, I hate that we are going back to 'company store' days. You don't own what you own; you rent it all from the company. We already know that businesses consider digital content to be something they can take from you.
I like to own the things I buy-that is why I buy them.
And it means I'm going to have to reconsider my gaming habits for the future. That also kinda sucks. I liked it when things were easy.
And that's it for a week! I'm going on vacation and going to play some Warhammer Conquest!
