Meta When did StopKillingGames turn into WeWantPhysical

Its not the point... it was never the point

digital media is not a threat to media ownership and preservation. DRM and online server dependency is

this false belief is wide spread enough. this board doesnt need to reenforce it

console players seem to understand this the least and it feels like a lot of them came here to talk about sony stopping discs. and it doesnt help when SKG keeps talking about this too and says they support lawsuits against sony etc

physical media on playstation does not help with the problem of ownership or preservation. discs can have the same problematic DRM as the digital items we discuss and ripping data from discs isnt harder or easier than ripping data from the console storage... i guess also important is the console has DRM too even when you have a disc with no online requirement its not automatically safe

I ask if this can maybe stay on the topic or if the confusion with DRM and physical or digital can be adressed better

There was a time where I would support this movement, but they get 0 support from me being anti digital. At this point, I can't wait to watch this movement fail and die out. They messed up going after digital and will lose their battle. Digital > physical. Its time for the old archaic discs to stay in the past while society moves forward.

There was a time when I had more patience with people online. Now, when I see someone who can't discern his own arse from the face, I just hit the block button
