It would be fucking awesome. I can totally see others doing this in the future but GOG is the perfect player for selling drm-free physical stuff at the moment. People who think “full digital is the inevitabile future everything” are just sad analysts watching their own garden, we already know PS5 selling datas were manipulated from Sony, people need physical like in any other art medium.
I can see third party companies for this since Valve is probably the last one who wants you to not buy digital.
The problem with LRG and similar is the limited factor, we don’t need another scalper paradise but more prints and aviability.
People still by cds and vinyls, I don’t think is fair to compare today with the apex of physical media, an adjustment in numbers is inevitable.
Yes I think we can exclude the old-days mass distribution but I think a more niche physical pc market could potentially be profitable in the future
I think drm-free indie oriented publishers like Annapurna could make a lot of money with physical copies.
Sony just killed PlayStation
The problem is multiplayer competition, which is comparable to gambling addiction.
Shaders are good when used properly, usually not in 16:9 1080p LCDs; old hardware is relatively cheap and emulation not very faithful in this case. On controller side looks like there’s an 8bitdo controller but I’m not informed , I just need a way to control X-axis (oh lol, I was confused with GameCube for the axis, in n64 you have one stick for the movement with usually standard axis.)
And emulation still isn’t perfect, I’m considering to buy it one for my crt.
Wii isn’t meant for hd you should consider WiiU for that. I have my Wii for my CRT and the 240p output is very good.
PS5 retail should be priority, when only digital Steam is a superior service also for linux support.
Not true, many PS5 videogames are on discs and playable offline in the initial release.
I have a PS3, great console, I still have to find a reason to mod it since blurays are very cheap. PSP looks interesting! I’m prioritizing to mod a PS2 these days.
I recently modded a Wii and I must say it’s starting to become one of my favorite.
Respect
Oh sorry, I missed that part. No disc means you don’t own it, that’s a big red flag for me.
Many retail games still allow you to have the full game without any service account or internet connection.
It’s like having a “double check” from a trusted source, they compile selected stuff from the aur so I suppose it’s a little more safe for the random user.
Every time I read this fake ecological motivation I aks myself why people think we can save the planet without some plastic and paper in a little box of human art, instead of considering real problems like big industry procedures and food packaging. Priorities.
