Once they fully make everything subscription based instead of ownership based thats when piracy will come into full force, im against piracy, but i can understand why people would start doing it once they fully remove our right to own these games.

I find it funny. Pirates manage to crack most games anyway, so all that DRM does is give paying customers a worse experience. But they keep doing the same thing over and over, expecting something to change.

Still cool for a collection with the different artworks atleast

I own hundreds of games across all of my digital platforms, like something between 300 - 350. If I had a disc for every one of them, I probably wouldn't have enough room and most of them would just gather dust in there as I don't play them anymore. But I really wish I had discs for my absolute favorites, the games that I really don't want to lose. There's like 50 of those. Many of them are old games from before Steam became mandatory, so I could probably still find some copies out there somewhere.

This is why DRM-free storefronts on PC are more important than ever.

I still look for physical copies with the paper discs that have a code in them when I'm trying to buy an old game. It's always cheaper than buying it digital.

This explains why outside of second-hand shops that don't know any better, there are no retailers that sell second-hand PC games. In my country of Australia, out of the five major retailers that sell video games, two don't sell PC games at all, and the remaining three only sell new/unused physical pc games. The constant issues they would have to deal with of people trying to get refunds and being unable to, along with figuring out which games can be resold or not would not be worth the potential profit they could make from it. It's also worth noting that most laptops (I can't speak for desktop PCs) don't even have an optical drive anymore, so many people wouldn't even have a use for the physical copies that do exist. This is why in the retailers I just mentioned, you can find a pretty broad range of unused and still sealed old physical PC games like Painkiller Hell & Damnation, Split/Second Velocity, Batman Arkham Origins etc, because nobody outside of collectors even has a use for these things.

I 100% Agree!!!, Buying Physical PC games in this era, is absolutely "DISAPPOINTING" and that's why it's only great to buy older PC titles that legit doesn't force U to require an Online Account like Steam, Origin, UPLAY, etc, I will ALWAY'S be A Physical person, not just because of nostagia, but incase if your wi-fi network ever goes down for some reason, "Guess What" U can't install the game! if U have it digital, the biggest problem! with Disk PC Versions today is that, you're getting mostly half the Game files, U gotta install A "Patch" GTA V was A Great example! on PC after installing all 7 Disks!!!

I think if they take more advantage of modern tech like blu rays discs instead of DVD's as well as making games DRM free because let's face facts that there are more ways to pirate it than buy it, then maybe and only maybe will PC physicals make a come back at some point. The fact that they still put DRM's on PC games and are as guilty of giving you the cursed "digital only physical games" like most modern consoles are doing, are what's killing the simplicity, and even the charm, of buying PC physical games.

@@tristanheaton2127 There are actually advantages, but it is pretty expensive. The reason flash cartridges were so expensive was due to their extremely fast read/write speeds compared to that a disc at the time, loading screens were sort of non-existent until the arrival of disc-based video games (floppy disks, zip drives, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays). However, because discs were a lot cheaper and faster to manufacture (not to mention, desirable due to the high capacity, unlocking potential for more content to be stored), it became too much of a burden. Really hoping flash-based physical media does make a comeback of some sort, especially when I look at the music industry in Southeast Asia actually being somewhat innovative and distributing music and movies on flash drives (widely available, very cheap, fast, and convenient).

These are great to prevent digital store monopolies.

I remember once buying a physical copy of Sims 4 (base game), and then i couldn't redeem the game using the activation code because it was already used. Now it's here collecting dust. I was scammed. And even if the activation code worked, the game cannot be installed with a disc anymore as they are now using "EA app" and not "Origin" so now the discs are REALLY useless.

dvd 8gb disc was used on pc for instance command and conquer 3 which was harder to copy cause dvd 8gb disc were expensive.

They should try and fit a game’s files and so on in a flash drive that is large enough. If they do that then people can load it up no problem because flash drives don’t need a specific drive for modern pc’s and of course i like having boxes for my favorite games like Hellblade. But of course i am a pc gamer so unless i wanna waste extra money on a physical copy for console versions of a game that will have basically nothing on it except a nice pretty disc. I might as well just stick to downloading the game from steam epic games or whatever other launcher/platform i am getting the game from. Maybe they could do something slightly different. Like the code could be a steam key for a game stored on a flash drive with an automatic program that will always force the game to first on to the flash drive and if you ask it to it will also save it physically on your pc. Of course this is just a nice way to save space on your pc. The drives can store your progress on the flash drive so you just got a plug it in before you start or you have your progress and the game’s big files which are hard to move around can be stored via an account on your pc as it does today. And if you are super worried then you can do that double save thing and the flash drive could serve as a backup. And if you want you can also continue any game from anywhere as long as you have your account and that drive. Thing is you gotta keep it up to date which if you take the first option isn’t hard. Also there is the benefit of physical copies. Maybe it would be a good idea to keep a back up on the account and the main save files on you drive. Because losing that means losing your progress so yeah

Excellent video from 3 years ago, but also a point you didn't talk about and worth to mention now, not only you not own the physical game, but the platforms they used to support doesn't work anymore thanks to the same companies that sold these games... Want an example? Look at Steam for Windows XP and Vista, today only these 2 OSs don't work, but in the future Windows 7 and so on... Even if you say "the game can be played in modern hardware too, so no big of deal", this phrase is not completely true since some games are released exclusively to certain versions of Windows + some games are going to have glitches with graphics and even more refuses to work, so that's a problem you can find only with DRM games... In resume, never support physical or digital copies of games that come with nasty DRMs like Steam games and why not, go for solutions like GOG that offer 100% games without DRM + Installers, where you can store these in a big HDD of yours. And finally you talked about profit in not be able to sell games anymore, unless if you see them as profitable, I wouldn't worry about it too much...

And now physical pc ganes are dead, only thing on pc disc is the digital key telling the internet you own the game , and you have to download game anyways, defeating the purpose of physical 😢

The problem with digital game is that now, you don't have the game, just rent to play, even if you say that you “buy” a game. The best way is if we back on the time and start use Blu-ray instead of online store

I've been saying this for years. While I understand companies trying to protect their rights as well. It's also anti-consumer. Same thing has been happening to consoles now. Which is why most consumers just subscribe to gamepass or buy a digital version since there are multiple editions of a video game now days.

Steam more or less killed the physical format on pc. Next up of course is when every single major game is only available on streaming services. Only GOG is the decent route for digital as you can back your own games up to physical more easily

Heh, when it comes to Steam games, it is yes funny how eccentially you only need once the physical discs. Waste of plastic! :D

DRM encourages piracy & reduces sales

One thing I want to mention is what makes PC so different from consoles. PC games NEVER ran off the disc or whatever format before that (Floppy Disks etc.). You always installed them. It's why the approach to combat piracy has been different in the past. You could not just install a console game and hand it to someone else. If a friend borrowed a game, you couldn't play it until they gave it back.

Sounds like an industry sponsored plug to me. 🙁

Good video but you made one mistake. Xbox 360 used HD-DVD format, not standard DVD. Bluray eventually made HD-DVD irrelevant since it was superior, but Xbox didn't like it because Sony owns the patent for Bluray.

The HD-DVD was only an addon to the Xbox 360. The disk drive in the Xbox 360 is DVD, not HD-DVD.

A lot of them I got off of eBay.

why does that suck?

without physical ownership the purchase is useless

Why pay the same to rent a game, when you can own it? Also, good luck when whoever you're renting a game from decides to make changes or remove content without your permission.

As a mmo player... it's borderline abuse to gamers. Our vision is you must do 400 dailies a day in order to barely progress. You must join 1 of 4 cults and if you choose to join a different cult you must jump through so many hoops and run laps because you should've known we were gonna nerf your cult of choice. Spend the entire expansion obtaining this awesome legendary only for us to nerf it next expansion and make it unusable from here on out. Spend the entire expansion chasing gear in weekly raids only for us to move the goal post again where your epic armor will be replaced by green lvl trash next expansion. You want this mount? It's only 5 million gold... No were not gonna ban bot farmers from nuking the in game economy so you can eventually scrape enough gold together to buy our limited time mount that is a major gold sink. World of Warcraft in a nutshell.

Physical version of GTA V barely even runs nowadays, all the updates to the launcher are designed for steam or epic. Just installed it today and I can't even play it

PC physical copies are crap.

Yeah. Rage 2 i had 2 discs. On 360. Other games had but it was extra content & for multiplayer or live. But rage 2 another half of the game i had to use the second disc. 😂😂😂😂

Thats crazy. Consoles are the same now. Getting the disc is like gerting the worst version 😂

They r smart. We are just goats. Thatz it. Lets say u sell the game to another guy then that guy to another guy the cycle goes on. Lets say 10 guys used the original game u bought & sold. Those 10 guys wont buy the new copy. Now these 10 guys r forced to buy the new disc. That was their plan. Make as much money even without even a drop out. 😂😂😂😂😂
