I remember when this was so absurd that it was funny, now it just seems like an inevitability...
Except you'll also have to swear allegiance to the Supreme Leader before you can use any computing device.
ALL HAIL COMPUTRON 9000000!!

Now the absurd part is the idea that people will be playing on XBOX in the future.
One day it'll just be Tuesdayy
I’m stocking up on verification cans as we speak
Careful, they might require you to drink from cans with the latest branding printed on them to be considered valid.
Shit. My plan is ruined!

I will get disliked but I will say it.
Discs are dying because of their low storage, high price per GB, reading speeds and no demand since internet speeds got very high.
The problem is not the discs disappearing. The problem is that we don't own the data we buy.
When I'm fucking paying for a software, I am not paying to use it, I pay for the data, the files and to do whatever the fuck I want with them.
You can copy songs, you can mix songs, you can fucking alter them, because you own them even if you buy them without a disc.
Do you want not to sell discs? Fine. Let me download the image file and store it wherever I want.
Your right, I think most are taking the news hard as discs were seen as the final hold out of I brought something and I own it.
We've changed from media to media its just that at this time, we are at the tipping point, and as of tomorrow (2028) we will have zero options to buy a game and own it (on consoles, yes GOG is a thing)
Laughs in SSD full of digital copies they can never take away from me
please connect to the internet to play single player campaign
Don't have to. None of them have any DRM
Good choice then.
Good GOG, man!
Hitman, my beloved, you're such a good game but fuuuuuck the online connection thing.
World of Ass? I was playing that a lot the other month, absolutely bananas that it requires an online connection.
There's the Peacock Project though, which lets you host your own server. Ultimately that kind of thing shouldn't be required but it's nice that players have made their own thing. Like what do you mean I need to be online and connected to their services to progress in the campaign and unlock new things in my singleplayer game?
Pro tip: pirated versions usually remove this requirement.
So, just like jailbroken playstation?
connects to the totally legit server hosted by the game company that I absolutely made an account for, the server that’s certainly not being spoofed on my local machine or hosted on my living room server
There you go, lil guy, you’re good to play this legitimate game on the server you were definitely designed for!
COPYRIGHT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY!!! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS OVER YOUR HEAD!!!
I'm guessing the commenter is talking about GOG and/or "legitimate" piracy on PC.
(Legitimate piracy meaning you own the game legally but you downloaded a pirated copy to avoid DRM)
Valve also does this btw
I've seen stuff pulled from the steam store so it's no longer available for purchase/adding to my library, but the ones I already added, even undownloaded, have always still been available in my library, even if the game was fully defunct.

Got any sources for that? Only ever heard of them removing a game from sale, not removing it from someone who has already bought it.
Also GOG can't even do this if they wanted to, they are unable to uninstall a game you have downloaded already.

Some steam games don't have DRM... even Steam's. Steam just hosts the files. I think Stalker(the old games) is onesuch example. The games just launch whether steam is up or not.
Sounds like a very convincing reason to never rent a Sony product again.
Loved the uniform detail
