With Sony now moving away from physical games I wanted to go over something that is really disappointing with an entire evolution of gaming getting retired.

    A console without a way to sell or trade games is just a locked PC, so is pointless to me. Once the tech I already have is no longer supported, it’ll be an all PC gaming future for me. Uh, and maybe Nintendo if they’re still making games I like and not charging too much for hardware.

      Nintendo is pulling the same crap. They still have physical releases, but some of the game cards don’t contain any data, only a voucher to download the game.

        That’s true, but they at least are making it possible to sell and trade the license to download the game while the servers are up. Hardly ideal, but better than cutting it out entirely.

        Also, they make exclusives that are unlike anything else out there. I wouldn’t miss Sony’s exclusives.
