@8th_Observer I highly doubt that an account would get banned through suspected association, that seems like brand suicide. If the console is already set up, you just play as guest off-line. There are also ways to bypass the initial set up screen that requires an online connection and Microsoft account.
@Deformedpye all we have to do is keep using our physical media and not purchase any new digital media and then they will reverse course or go out of business. It’s not a hard concept to understand.
@Titntin How is a disc a revocable license? It’s read only and it can’t be changed. Also, if somehow a company disables or denies you access to a disc that is in your physical possession , that is a crime, not a license revocation. It’s called theft.
@NishimaruX Yes it is. I will gladly miss out on a corporation stealing from me when they get tired of supporting the thing they sold me. I buy digital games sometimes. Usually when they are very very cheap and to have redundancy so I don’t have to get a disc out. I would never trust them with full priced games, especially over time.
@TDHorizon Yeah, I get that. More and more everyday, with everything, I realize money is the dumbest invention humans have ever created. Especially money that is not based on anything finite and tangible.
Why isn’t the supply shortage being solved? It’s like they are doing it on purpose. They even predict increases next year. That means they aren’t planning on doing anything about it.
@Skinny-Pete AI has no place in any field that relies on human creativity. Why don’t they just let AI make entire games on its own and call it what it is? I see no problem letting AI be creative and create what art it desires. Just be truthful about it.
@Skinny-Pete I was just trying to help someone appear less ignorant through education and I’m the one that learned something, so now I can appear less ignorant.
Can we get an option that is like it used to be where you could just pay for online only? I have thousands of owned games, I have no need for game pass.
@Sheppard I have played some of the first Spider-Man game on PS4 (I have the PC version as well) and I think the game is awesome so far. Huge difference.
Seeing how all of these companies love money more than anything else, you would think they would all work together to resolve any licensing issues and bring all games to any and every platform possible.
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is an absolutely horrible game and should be ashamed of itself for existing. I couldn’t even finish it. I do not understand how ANYONE can even remotely enjoy that pile of garbage. I was recording my gameplay for my YouTube channel and deleted the videos as well. I had 2 mint CIB copies of that game. I destroyed both of them. I just couldn’t in good conscience bring myself to even sell them to somebody. I could not potentially allow someone to experience such misery. I know it’s a rare game and I know what it’s worth, but it was worth losing the money to know that someone else will not suffer. I paid full price for both of them as well.
How the hell did Black Ops 7 get to the top of anything. Oh I get it, I woke up in a parallel reality again. So is Black Ops 7 good in this one, because the last one I was in it was the worse one yet worth all kinds of nonsense. Barely recognizable.

@johnedwin Dude, you act like $1000 is a lot of money. I spend more than that on lunch sometimes.
Re: Video Game Retailer Urges Xbox To 'Stand Behind Consumer Choice' By Supporting Physical
@Savex wait until you get denied access to your digital library or even worse, It gets deleted by the company who sold them to you because they can.

Re: Xbox Fans Go Wild As Asha Sharma Gives Free Consoles To Everyone At FanFest LA
@RegnumSolipsi Yes they will. Remember all of the companies have been hoarding money and actually have more than they know what to do with.
