Implying rockstar didn't become what they joked about two decades ago. It was probably their idea.

My GTA5 day one purchase, was a download code and I was so confused. That was the first time that ever happened to me. ROCKSTAR!!!
For anyone else who didn't know, this is the Anti-ock Spiderman suit featured in the Marvel's Spider-man games.
we'd gather all this hate and turn it against DRM. GOG is digital only but people don't care cuz they'd just burn it into a cd and play it there
Hot take: this move was completely predictable and almost no one cares. As Sony said in their press statement - basically no one buys physical copies of games anymore. Even if some would prefer a physical copy, they tend to want to get the game immediately, without having to leave the house, more. Those who are completely committed to buying physical media are an extreme minority, and by sunsetting support for it, Sony saves a lot of money. Most gamers, if they hear this news at all, will probably think "well, that makes sense - I haven't bought a physical game in years." It's like saying your favorite taco shop is nazis because they stopped making your favorite fish and nutella taco that no one else ordered.
I think Nintendo already went digital only, didn't they? Or at least has said they would. It's not surprising at all.
Love the example lol
