Why do people still collect physical? The days of cartridges are over

>physical books

ok grandpa

Oh damn, he has a fucking hardcover copy.

>Books are the only acceptable physical media, they're timeless - classy and sophisticated.
Welcome to 2005 and forward. We have shit that can hold millions of stories, you old fuck.

> BR-DVD maxes at 120GB storage
> 2TB drives are still "large"
If 9th gen goes full retard with "content", you'll be buying games on external hard discs.

jurassic park!

that's seemingly where we are headed too ugh. I miss the simplicity forcing creativity.

They like to hold things that contain outdated data so they can pretend that they "own" it.

Books will never, ever go out of fashion.

>drop your kindle/tablet
>it breaks

>Drop a book
>Nothing happens

>house catches on fire
>grab tablet and run
>vs
>burn to death trying to get to hundreds of books

Why people collect books when they can download them all digitally?

Reminder that you don't own any of the games you bought on Steam, PSN, Xbox Live and the Eshop and they have the right to take it all away from you whenever they like

Once these services go offline you will lose everything

Tick tock digicucks

I still like to have physical games but when I have to play something I prefer digital all the way. It's not even a contest, between having to swap discs and just choosing whatever from the hdd I chose the later because it's much faster.

It's the same with music. I absolutely hate to have to swap cds, and most of my CD collection is switched around, I even lost track of a few cds I paid good money for.

Because in 15 years unless they decide to keep releasing remasters there will be no way of reobtaining old media as digital storefronts push their new content forward

Are those all the same game?

>whenever they like
not where I live :^)

Ah, time for a midnight snack

>reading is for losers!! haha gotem

Imagine being at fridges so fat you look and see videogames

you'll lose your physical ones too though really, its not like any modern games are even playable without day 1 patches

this but unironically

>Fridge

That's what normies always told me in school.

Physicalfags are just obsessed hoarders. My friend is a collector and it got so bad he had to store games in his bathroom.

>cartridges
I don't know. The old-school market is fucked, price-wise.

My parents collect vinyls and old records from the 80s but don’t even have the space or things needed to play them so it became a problem
Also they collect random “memories” and throw them in storage

>Why do people still collect physical?
Consumerism is a bad way to coping with the lack of meaning in someone's life.

>my life feels empty, let's fill it with plastic stuff

that pic made me sad

>buying high quality physical copies of your favorite games - BASED
>collecting every single vinyl/book/game you come across - CRINGE

I got bit by that bug when I managed a vidya store over a decade ago. Once I left I realized how fucking senseless it was and how annoying it was to store/move all of it. I eventually downsized to core games I actually replay. When I see people with walls of old school games etc. all I can think is "most of those are dog shit you'll never play".

Enjoy you're cartridges and discs rotting
You're music CD's keep losing quality each year too so nice try
