Physical Video Game Software Dollar Sales Plunged to an All-Time July Low of Just $85 Million in the US — the Worst Total Since Tracking Began in 1995

I like collecting physical media of all kinds (books, games, movies, discs) but its mostly just physical license keys now.

Even 4K blu-rays have internet connection requirements...

DRM-free digital copies that can run on open-source software like proton or an emulator. Multiple copies on different production batches, manufacturers, and types of media at different sites.

Individual disks rot, data rotated across redundant disks will last forever. That's how you preserve games for the next generation.

maybe they faked the manned moon landing but sent an unmanned probe to the moon, which is why the soviets didn't make a fuss.

Eh human life is expendable to the government, especially back then. If they could probe it I wouldn't be shocked if they'd send dudes up there just to say they did.

maybe the 9/11 attacks were real but the attackers were actually real guys who were persuaded to do it by some gov.

We gave em' enough reason to hate us to do it on their own but I'd buy DC saw it coming and let it happen as an excuse to pass the patriot act.

Yeah but without anonymous payments (xmr) there's no good way to easily pay for diy estrogen or hosting for piracy services, or to anonymously pay my mullvad account.

Granted if society wherent setup as a giant fucking fascist capitalistic panopticon we wouldn't really need any of that.

Any who, I mostly agree with the sentiment though. "Career" investors and venture capitalists belong against a fucking wall IMO.
