Who do you think you are? I am
That shit is pure minstrel show, there’s a lot of shit nowadays that’s pure minstrel show. And I used to resent other black people for embracing, oking, or just accepting certain shit and going along with it.
Ion do that no more, I let people be them, but ion trust em, don’t like em, don’t respect em. Some shit just ain’t ..some shit just shouldn’t be.

I agree. I especially never understood the dudes that were obsessed with it. Shit seemed kinda gay to me.
While I understand sexual desires is a spectrum, it's just not something I'm interested in doing with my partner

Willingly paying the same price for a digital download version of a videogame as someone else who paid for the physical copy with the disk and box art and everything.

it only matters to us
It might not be gay gay but it seems like a bridge

Why is that weird. Do the disc and box have some value to you? They don't to me. They are just clutter. The only reason I would ever choose to buy a physical copy is if I planned on trading it in when I was done with it.

Disc's can get scratched or damaged over time and you still end up having to download game content regardless. Plus you're paying time and transportation to get it for the same price. Fuck I need box art for?
I do think digital should be cheaper but I don't see any incentive paying the same to go get a physical copy.
Dogs can be trained to help people with all kinds of illnesses and disabilities.
They just passed some Bill or something in California I believe that basically says we do not actually own these games we buy
If something happens with a company and their game, they can simply remove it from a digital marketplace and you will never be able to play it again unless you own a physical copy provided one exists in the first place
Also, call of duty modern warfare I believe was the first game that introduced the current 69.99 price tag. Or is it 59.99?
Whatever, but the reason they did this was to claim that the games were getting more and more expensive to make and the old 49.99 wasn't enough to recoup costs on the front end . Plus the cost to make discs, cases, cover art and manuals.
With digital gaming, you have eliminated all of these so why is the cost still the same as when you had physical copies of games?

I know this but there is still no need for pit bulls running around Costco bcuz some lady got her purse snatched 10 years ago and she has anxiety now.
I was with you until
I bought street fighter 4 3xs
The disc stayed scratching and chipped! I played it a lot on my Xbox 360. So I downloaded the game, I bought that game 4x, I played it a lot
Lol that i agree with. But the general statement of service dogs not only being for blind people misses a wide range of things that service dogs do help with

For the same reason you gave, that alone is enough to make a digital copy less valuable fundamentally. Because it’s immaterial. That someone is willing to pay the same price for a digital copy is like more a matter of convenience*, it doesn’t mean it’s worth the same as a physical version that requires shipping, wrapping, packaging printing and you can physically hold it, sell it later. There’s other reasons too, but that’s just an example.
The risk you mention here is in your own control.
If a company’s server goes down for whatever reason, that’s also a risk but one we have zero control over.
That we still have to download the game is a different problem with gaming in general I think. Maybe it’s time for a new physical format, problem solved. But no one has taken the time to do that yet.
This statement confused me, it sounds like you’re saying the physical copy should cost less then while also saying the digital should be cheaper. Maybe you’re saying the overall price point of games need to be cheaper.

I think we all agree digital should be cheaper but being the same price doesn't give me anymore incentive to buy physical cause I couldn't care less about the things that make buying physical appealing. Whatever your preference it's the same price unless you prefer to wait and buy used.

CoD is 69.99, but most new games come out at 59.99, and AAA games are absolutely more expensive to make, so it's not surprising we saw and increase from 49.99 to 59.99. That said, digital games go on sale a lot. I mean the PSN has been running a big sale all summer. It's not unusual to wait a couple months after a game releases and get it for 20 less. That doesn't really happen with physical games.
At the end of the day, I like the convenience. I don't have to worry about switching discs if I want to play a different game, and if I go visit fam for a week and a half and decide to take my PS5. I don't have to lug discs around with me. I can just play off the system.
Somewhat unrelated, but NES games costed about $30-$50 back then which would be the equivalent of $115-$190 in today's money. So games are actually a lot cheaper than they were.
