Fairly trivial and well known concepts. I’m not even sure what you could possibly be confused about 🤷‍♂️

How tf is a disc supposed to fit in a handheld? It would have so many downsides and people haven’t been buying discs for pc games for years now

Oh for a handheld, whatever move to a cartridge, that’s some pedantic shit right there.

And yes, valve did fuck up and trick PC gamers into accepting games you can’t resell. And yes, that’s why it’s cheaper to play on consoles and rent. That was very much the point.

I’m pretty sure there are no cartridges for PC games at all

I haven’t had a device with the ability to read discs in over 10 years. The last portable gaming device that could read optical discs was the PSP, as far as I can recall. Which came out in 2011.

Again, what are you on about with the steam deck not being able to read discs as a criticism? It’s outlandish. To the point where I’m not even sure you know what a steam deck is.

Disc, cartridge, same shit. You are focusing on the media because the lot of you don’t understand what it is to be able to resell it rent games.

The simple fact remains I play more games that I want than you for cheaper by renting them. And this pisses people off here. I haven’t even brought up $400 GPUs into the equation 🤣.

Your criticism was specifically with the fact that it didn’t have the capability to read discs. Something concerning the medium by which you can get to a game. I commented on that. If you want to talk about the latter than I place more value on owning my games and I’d rather not rent. Also, it’s not worth the effort for me to try to sell a physical copy of a game.

Why would that piss anyone off? Why would anyone even care? The way we consume media is personal and different for everyone. You seem to place a lot of value on the amount of games you’ve played over the course of a year. Other people, shockingly, might not.
