    Ironically "piracy" has helped preserve some older games and media that would've otherwise been lost if not for people having copies of them.

    Even though digital games appear to be taking over the market, all Collector's Editions should STILL come with physical game releases, because I'm absolutely sure that the people who care enough to buy those are always gonna be the very same people who WANT physical games.

    I think that digital is kind of a blessing and a curse. On one hand, I hate it because of basically all the reasons stated in this video. The practices with selling AAA games is horrible. However, the upshot is that indie game developers now have a platform that doesn't involve them getting squashed by the publisher. Publishers used to have an insane amount of sway over indie devs, to the point where they were kind of an endangered species for a lot of gaming history. If you wanted anyone to actually play your game, you needed a publisher who was going to hook you up with some physical distribution. It's not that no one downloaded games until recently, but it was a lot more rare, especially when you didn't have a relatively trustworthy platform like Steam.

    I recently got a VHS player (for $6) and a ton of tapes ($.50 a piece) it’s been nice to go back and see what media was, what I feel it should be. It lost the charm and uniqueness. Now you have to search for shows when shows used to find you

    • @MMOchAForPrez

      That's an odd way to look at shows and I never thought about that. You really did only see shows you wanted to watch from word of mouth, commercials, and TV Guide magazines you'd get at the store 😂 So fascinating how much media has changed. I hear a lot of new-age music producers for example adding in flaws like cassette pitch shifting and noise to give songs character. Because without those elements, things feel stale like Muzak

    I will admit it 4k blu rays are in my mind staples center of physical media. But I also would agree that physical media and streaming services have their financial advantages over one another in their own way like with streaming services the price for monthly streaming is the same cost of each physical disc but me being a man of quality over quantity I would say the financial benefit that 4k discs and all other forms of physical media have over streaming is the fact that you don’t have to pay monthly to keep the rights to watch it. And I’m willing to take my time to afford physical media and save up my money.

    once streaming continues to have its problems, angering subscribers, and people seek better alternatives we could see a resurgence. The LP vinyl record is 1940s technology and its experienced a resurgence. old things become popular again eventually
