Indiana Jones’s and Doom are both stub disks. If Sony can use two disks you can too!
You own an Xbox and you buy games? Wtf man just get Gamepass. It would have paid for itself already with just those two games and maybe one or two smaller releases.
Uh, you can get them for free from the library. Game pass if hella expensive. And yeah, I don’t do digital.
I feel your disdain for digital and your fight against it should be more focused on the ownership of digital goods instead of just “digital bad” for a variety of reasons. The most important being the environment.
I do appreciate GOG. It’s the only place I buy digital.
We need more like them. We should own the things we buy, or they should be much much cheaper.
That’s hell of a nice library that has games available, on launch no less.
I don’t even know if there’s a library in a 3 hour radius from me.
It just the city library’s. Have you checked out yours, I know each city will vary but it’s worth a shot.
I don’t live in what I would call a city, and we don’t have a library.
I’m sorry to hear that. Every community should have a library.
As someone who loves to read and to think I agree but at the same time I know it would be a waste of the town’s finances. People here don’t read, for example my grandfather told me not long ago that “he hates” reading. How can you justify the expense of a library that no one would ever visit?
The schools have OK libraries (by our standards, for someone from a city they probably look like a closet) and when I was a student I was one of the very few that ever used it for actually reading. Everyone else just used it as a social space and to watch YouTube.
How can you justify the expense of a library that no one would ever visit?
I guess by shifting it to be a resource for things the community could use? Libraries can be so much more than books.
Not that it’s cheap or easy.
Ah damn. Do you at least have decent internet for those huge files?
Yeah I can’t complain. I downloaded Oblivion Remaster in like 4 hours I think? Maybe less.
Yikes. Well, at least your able to access games and that’s the important thing.
It’s not expensive. I’ve never paid more than $10/month for ultimate. Every holiday season there’s deals on cards and I stock up for the year.
Even if it was considered cheap, why subscribe to a rotating library that you may or may not enjoy when you can buy your own and enjoy they at your own leisure whenever you want. I guess if you want to buy it for a month and play a specific launch title on it it makes sense - Digital renting.
Because for about $500 I got to play all of the games on this list, and this doesn’t include several dozen other games I tried but didn’t play for long.
Most of these I wouldn’t have bought if I didn’t have access to them in a library.

I play like 3 long games and a handful of short games per year. I’m not sure how anyone except a teenager would have the time to play most of these. That’s not a dig, I just truly don’t understand where the time comes from.
If I played those 32 games an average of 20 hours each (I never 100% games) over 4 years it’s an average of 26 minutes a day. What’s your breakdown of activities that imagining someone doing for 26 minutes a day would vs. wouldn’t trigger you to respond with incredulity? What’s the threshold of number of minutes?
Does a hobby consuming 26 minutes a day still seem unreasonable or did you not take a minute to do some simple math? If you didn’t think you had enough variables to do the math, you still felt like you had enough info to comment? And could you not imagine someone, out of the billions of people in the world, having a different lifestyle than yours?
Jesus Christ, calm down. I thought that was in one year.
That’s more expensive than free.
You’ll own nothing and be happy
Exactly the opposite.
Whoops I responded one down too far lol
I don’t care to own mass consumption media to be honest. Maybe some movies.
In my opinion the only media really worth owning is books and even then not all books are worth the paper they are printed on, so those might be best kept on an ebook.
I rather put my money in silly things like appreciating assets.
