I buy everything digital nowadays but they need to give people the option. A lot of gamers still prefer physical and they will alienate gamers who prefer physical. The last thing ShitBox needs to be doing now is alienating gamers, they need all the gamers they can get seeing as the console aren’t selling for shit and the brand is a flop.

Yup that's the best option.  Whoever wants to go all digital, you can do that.. Nothing is stopping you. 

Consoles should continue to offer both physical and digital for the foreseeable future.

6% of America lacks access to reliable internet 

"In rural areas, nearly one-fourth of the population..... still lack access to fixed broadband service at threshold speeds."

"In tribal areas, nearly one-third of the population lacks access.

" The Report concludes broadband is not yet being deployed in a reasonable and timely fashion."

And that just America... Now do the rest of the world. 

Sony and Nintendo sell boatloads of physical games worldwide.

The medium has evolved enough already to support completely digital consoles.

 

There's still a lot of people who buy physical and "fight the good fight" but that's because they aren't currently being forced to.  If the industry decides to put physical out of it's misery, then the vast majority of those people who still buy physical, will bite the bullet and buy it digitally.  The only people who would really cry about it are the small vocal group of physical preservationists.

 

The industry would roll over to all digital and it would be the easiest thing ever.. it's already entirely set up to do so.

Did you read my last post? 

The broadband infustructure isn't mature enough as yet for a 100% digital gaming. 

Sony and Nintendo who both perform well Globally aren't dropping physical anytime soon. 

Force a user to go digital? That user is going to run fiber lines for their entire region or something? Lmfao. 

MS who doesn't sell well Globally and only in certain western markets won't miss much by going all digital.

Get with the fucking times.  If you're still complaining about something tech based in 2024 being possibly online only then you're pathetic as fuck.  ALL of these devices are USELESS without internet as it is.  Who doesn't have internet these days?  If someone doesn't have an internet connection, then maybe they should be worrying about things other than videogames.  Let the medium evolve ffs..

The medium can evolve when the infustructure is mature. 

Have you ever looked into what percentage of the country doesn't have access to reliable internet or broadband? 

Physical media isn't going anywhere until that changes.

To be fair, I expected Microsoft to actually release some big games in the 3 years the console has been on the market growing GamePass...

 

They've failed horribly and I've admitted that.. and GamePass has stagnated as a result.  I blame it on Microsoft's ineptitude.. not necessarily the model itself.

It's the model too.    We have never had a point in gaming where two console manufactures are selling 100 of millions of hardware + over a billion in software EACH.. Within the same gen.   Both Switch and PS4 pulled that off while being on the market at the same time. 

Point im making is traditional game sales (including digital because it's an actual purchase) are bigger than they have ever been in the history of gaming. 

Gaming as a whole is no where close to be ready for a gamepass model. 

Look at the hundreds upon hundreds of millions MS is spending to barely keep GP afloat. 

That's not a sustainable model for decades to come.

It will happen.

Each time you speak on this it gets modified ohh so slightly

This is the cost (or what MS expects the publisher would ask for) of getting games day one on Game Pass:

Star Wars Jedi Survivor - $300M
Suicide Squad - $250M
Assassin's Creed Rift - $100M
Gotham Knights - $30M
Dying Light 2 - $50M
LEGO Star Wars - $35M
Baldur's Gate 3 - $5M (after Larian's huge success, I don't think it will be only $5M anymore)

GTA V - $12-$15M per month 
Red Dead 2 - $5M per month. 

Mortal Kombat 1 - $250M

Dragon Ball: The Breakers - $20M
Return to Moneky Island - $5M
Wreckfest 2 - $10-$14M
Just Dance - $5M
Blood Runner - $5M
Glitch Busters - $5M

MS literally spending hundreds of millions of dollars to beg publishers for games

LemiJ - "Nintendo and Sony copying gamepass anyday now" 

Just now, Mr. House said:

I'm ok with it being banned under the assumption that it peddles inappropriate or political content.

 

Who cares about Christianbooks.com do or don't do? 

 

Such as? You need to elaborate. 

 

What inappropriate political content would a dr. Suess book, a layman medical encyclopedia that's been around for decades and dictionaries have in them?

"Months after Florida canceled a class on African American history, the state has now endorsed the use of a controversial collection of videos by an unaccredited, right-wing group — some of which show animated versions of Christopher Columbus and Frederick Douglass defending slavery to students."

So they Banned the actual history class and history books, to implement unaccredited right wing content to the children. 

Oh and don't take my word for it... Take the founders word. 

PragerU founder admits conservative material is ‘indoctrination’ — it’s now allowed in FL schools

Founder, Dennis Prager: “We bring doctrines to children. That is a very fair statement. But what is the bad of our indoctrination?’”

PragerU features content it says it has developed for “6th Grade & Up,” which includes “Left Vs. Right: Host CJ Pearson shines a light on the differences between conservative and left-wing thinking from the role of government to doing good versus feeling good.”

What were you saying about pushing political content onto kids? 

25 minutes ago, Mr. House said:

No, but I wouldn't be surprised if some book on medicines and Navy SEALS did have graphics content. 

 

Yes, because that's a a direct attempt to alter the original artist vision to appease modern snowflakes.

 

Being banned from school libraries is not the end of the book. It's soft attempt at censorship is however a direct attempt at changing the original content and ideas. 

 

You have yet to answer my question, what does the conservatives gain at banning books? 

 

I mean, we know why liberals wants to edit books for modern audiences and leave books for children in elementary schools to read with inappropriate content. It's best to sexualize and indoctrinate them as soon as possible while they don't know better.

 

They're literally coming for children with political/inappropriate content and any attempt at trying to regulate such content being exposed to is supposed to be bad? Ok. 

Ahhh so there are no unsavory graphic stuff in Dr. SEUSS.. Yet you're ok with it being banned.. Not only at schools but at Libraries. 

The other books are available on Cristian books.com for families and kids..... Yet the far right thinks it's not suitable for kids.... Despite those same books being suitable for over a decade plus. 

You answered your own question... Indoctrination.  They're removing history books and replacing it with Prager U content which is a literal wing propaganda outlet who publishes non accredited "educational videos" which

change historical events to match their crazy theories. 

You're ok with all of this..... But lost your shit because a synonym was used as to not encourage kids violence. 

1 minute ago, Mr. House said:

You must missed where I said 'probably'. 

 

There must be a good reason as to what transpired in those books to be banned. The main reason as we know is to protect children from content that they shouldn't be exposed to. Maybe those books had very graphics stuff in them. 

 

Tell me otherwise what's the conservatives gameplan? Banning books for the sake of it which make for easy attack from democrats?  What is there to even gain? 

Dr. SEUSS books have very Graphic stuff in them? Lol

So let me get this straight you lost your shit because two words were changed in favor of two synonyms that meant the same thing but in a less violent way.. This happened in one Dr. SEUSS book.... Bbbbut teh Far left censorship

But old ass Dr. SEUSS books being outright banned is A OK and must have been done for a good reason or something.

Lmfao.

Never heard of new editions of the same book? I know for a fact they rewrote Dr Seuss for modern audiences, I made a thread about it a while back. 

 

It's perfectly acceptable to ban books from schools that does not follow the guidelines and regulations. Most of which are about sexual woke indoctrination aimed at young children. You really want to defend that? Go ahead, knock yourself out. 

You must have missed where I said published over a decade ago including old Dr. Suess books 

They changed two words in one Dr Suess book and you lost your shit.. I remember your fake outrage. 

Yes somehow you're ok with actually banning the orginal books.. Strange. 

The list also includes “The Gale Encyclopedia Of Medicine,” a five-volume set containing medical information for the layperson, and “Eyes on Target: Inside Stories From the Brotherhood of the U.S. Navy SEALs,” which is available on ChristianBook.com.

Most likely in the new versions edited by wokists, yes. Dr Seuss probably identify as non binary and like to take the D up his butthole. A great read for you and your family. 

Nah these were books published over a decade ago. 

Remember how fake outraged you were when one word changed in a recent Dr Seuss book. 

Look at you now bending over backwards saying it's acceptable to ban his earlier books, dictionaries and text books 📚. 

You're a fucking Hypocrite through and through.  Not surprised.

No I get it.  I just thought the argument wasn't ever about being designed from the ground up, but rather how well ports could be optimized for Steam Deck vs Switch 1/2 as handheld devices.  This game obviously wasn't designed around the specs of the Switch and then ported up.. but it was still custom built and ported for the Switch on development kits.. which means there's optimization that is indeed happening here to get it to work at all.  They made specific decisions when porting this game to get it to work on Switch and these are the results we're seeing.

 

 

That would be a silly argument to have because of the huge power gap between Switch and deck. 

From the start I've been talking about  games made specifically for it aka from the ground up. 

That is what has kept the Switch alive for 7 years.  1st and 3rd party developers making games specifically for Switch.  So even now that the hardware is even more ancient, the system STILL has new games still being made for it.. From the ground up. 

The deck is already starting to struggle running current gen games that have no cross gen version.... It will only get worse for it.... But it doesn't have the luxury of falling back on games that were made specifically for it from the ground up. 

So unlike the Switch you will not be getting 7 years of new games, unless it's indies. 

What you will get though is portable access to you old steam library.

I remember so many kids owning MK on Gameboy back in the day. This port is fine compared to this.

 

 

 

Yea this is waaaay worse BUT the Switch version of this new MK1 is terrible and frankly shouldn't have been ported. 

We're at the point now where games are being designed for PS5/Series X with no cross gen version on PS4.... Switch 1 can't keep up to put out a decent version of PS5 games.
