  • wow, thank you corporate overlords for giving me an official on-boarding process for digital only instead of just throwing me to the wolves

    This basically confirms their next console won’t have discs. They’re just being smart about how they’re introducing it.

    Unlike Sony they at least have an onboarding process. Converting your physical discs to digital makes your games backwards compatible for their next (presumably) next gen digital only console.

    But it’s still going to end with a digital license future like Sony

    microsoft’s end goal i think is to have a completely enclosed ecosystem system, like apple does, but more restricted so they can monopolize it.

    i doubt in the next 20 years, windows will allow steam for example on their new os. theyre probably going to force their own game download service etc.

    windows is just going to become this closed data mining ai ecosystem i think.

    its why valve is making steam os, so if microsoft does do that, they wont go bankrupt.

    Sony trying to do that with like their console, which is not as big of a deal.

    long story short obviously what you said is what microsoft is doing. They were the first to try to make a console online mandatory and restrict trading games and stuff years ago even though they walked it back

    this is also why windows has gotten worse and worse even though they spent over 30 years working on it.

    they have a monopoly since most people have to currently use windows for the majority of computer related stuff.

    people arent going to switch to linux unless its more user friendly and has more compaditiblty. theres no reason to improve windows, youre better off profit wise to extract as much data from the trapped customer.

    but when steamOS (which is linux) becomes more situated, it will probably be more user friendly than either windows or regular linux.

    apple’s market share of computers is a different user base, but im pretty apple os is a form of linux as well.

    i know little about computer stuff im jsut sharing interesting thoughts ive read about

  • Sony should steal this ngl if they're really about to end disc production

    windows is an ungodly amount of poor UI its like a masterclass in how to make the worst UI of all time. it wouldnt take much to clear it.

    even though apple computers have huge drawbacks, people i think mostly buy them because the few things that do work on it actually work very well and the interface and bugs are much better

    Not even lowkey this is a blatant transition into purely digital. Theyre just being smooth about it after they saw all the s*** Sony got

    The alternative is they just f*** you in the ass and move to all-digital without any path for disc owners so… yeah

    Sony likely has the same initiative planned but are waiting for PS6 to announce it

    It would be smart, also if there really is a handheld aspect it would let you take your discs on the go essentially

  • Kr0niic

    License is revoked if someone else uses disc (as expected)

    does the new person get the digital license or is it just evaporated into the ether?
