A lot of console games won’t let you play, even offline unless you sign in to Activision/Epic/whatever.
And then yeah, a lot of them are broken on day 0.
So yeah, so much for the joys of physical media.
Not to mention how careful you have to be when actually buying the games…if you aren’t paying attention, it’s easy to buy a case with boxart and a voucher inside.
Gamepass was a good value for me, because I rarely replay games and usually only am playing one game at a time. But since they jacked up the price a couple months ago, it’s no longer worth it.
Much better just to watch dekudeals for sales and get games cheap when I feel like playing.
Steam is cool and all but I think I’m going to go with GOG a lot more going forward.
And I’ll never stop buying discs for consoles
I wonder what percentage of disc-based games for this console generation are unplayable without at least a one-time Internet-connected update.
11%-49% depending on platform and qualifiers https://www.doesitplay.org/
This is a fair point.

Many of them are just a key to download the game.
Don’t forget a good chunk of them are borderline unplayable without an internet update.
