I doubt they’ll drop them with the Switch 2, but it’s an inevitablity that it will happen in the future. Physical game sales are becoming pitifully low.

Seeing as digital-only seems to be the future whether we like it or not, this seems like a good initiative.

Not a real story because it didn’t end with “…and then everyone clapped”.

Physical media has been dying for years. If you look at the sales statistics between physical and digital, it makes for grim reading if you care about physical media.

75% of game sales in Europe in 2024 were digital. In 2022, 90% of game sales in the UK were digital. It’s a similar story pretty much everywhere. And whilst there’s a lot of noise on the internet about how bad a digital-only future would be, the average consumer doesn’t care.

This is why I love the Quick Tap feature on Pixel phones.

Yes, extra security for your personal information is so irritating.

Trade unions stuck in the past shocker.

I really want this, but £55 for a 3.5 year-old game is a bit steep.

Also, a premium edition that gives you four days early access for a port of an old game is laughable.

Will it be like when they launched a load of DDoS attacks against Sony, of which the only impact was annoying regular people and doing nothing to the company they were supposedly going after?

This hardly ever happens anymore. I remember the days of the PS3 when it felt like a weekly occurrence.

If signing petitions led to anything, they wouldn’t let you sign them.

One positive is that they at least allow you to uninstall it.

Which I’ve just done because I didn’t even know it existed and it certainly didn’t show up in the Play Store at any point.

You’re on Lemmy. This place is obsessed with posting about Elon every time he farts.

They did in 2016 and the prophets of doom were wrong then too.

He’ll just be a shit President again. Now with additional senility.

And I doubt Trump would want to piss off 170 million Americans on his first day.

He’ll want to spread it out over the four years.

I think Musk’s full conversion to attention-seeking grifter came when one of his kids came out as trans.

When did I have a problem with it? 🤔

What even is a trans and non-binary theme?

Isn’t it just some colours?

The meme is technically correct then.

The one problem with that is a thing called human nature.
