Topic	Download-only games are a joke, discs and cartridges will never be dumpster food
LinkPizza 02/26/21 9:40:53 AM #56:	Judgmenl posted... I think I have been without internet for an hour for a day in the past 5 years. Any internet outage has a huge impact on anyone who works remotely. Sure. Though, its not like that for everyone. I havent had internet for over a week because of the recent storm. So, if I wanna download a game, I would have to find some where with Wi-fi. Which would probably take forever to download... Veedrock- posted... No, they're claiming digital consoles can't play offline which is wrong. Are they? Maybe Im reading it wrong, but it doesnt seem like thats what they are saying... Veedrock- posted... 1) There's no example of this on modern systems. Even the Wii, which shut down its store in 2019 after giving over a year's notice, still lets you download purchased games. Plus, as long as you keep a copy of the game locally of course you still own it and can play it. How's that any different than keeping a disc? I think one difference if that you can still keep buying discs. Even after it shuts down... Veedrock- posted... 2) You can do this with digital too; in fact you can play the game on two consoles at the same time, something you can't do with physical. You're not restricted to same household either, if desired. Other than some weird workarounds, I havent heard anything about sharing games on switch digitally. The physical thing works for me, though. When I visit home, Im able to share with my little brother. I do it a lot. Plus, it sounds like you normally need internet or whatever to share, and play shared games... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
