  • That’s always been a great detriment to preservation but this stops even trading in or borrowing games, akin to the XboxOne idea which was widely panned. They severely damaged the long-term aspects of physical media by shipping incomplete discs but now they’re damaging the short-term benefits too.

    I’ve been almost exclusively PC where physical media died long ago, but there will be piracy and much longer time to buy a product legitimately (look at GoG). Console losing physical copies means a near monopoly on the pricing and distribution of games with no means to recoup costs by selling, rent a game (outside of their first party service) or share with friends. It all sucks.












  • Pixel 6 Pro. Got it at release to replace my Pixel 3a XL. I have pixel buds Pro to go with it and a garmin watch. Prior to my Pixels I had Honor View 10, LG G2, Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy S2, Taco Lite.

    I do have an iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) which I primarily use for video calls.

    I imagine my next phone will be a Pixel again because I’ve come to appreciate much of the features. I do have to use a 3rd party launcher (microsoft launcher) because I hate google search being forcibly baked in and the news page being much worse than Microsoft Launcher’s news or ‘at a glance’ pages
