Games going digital is not a fucking dystopia. Jesus Christ there are people being killed and put in jail for moving a box. Get a fucking grip and quit fucking buying their garbage.

Agreed, going digital is not a dystopia, but then revoking the games you "bought" is indeed dystopia, these companies have digital games with DRM that only work as long as they give you permission to use, that's the dystopian part where you own nothing and be happy, I personally prefer digital, but when I can actually own it and not be locked out of what I buy.
