For those who don't know, there has been somewhat of an uproar due to Playstation's announcement about stopping making disks.

    Sony has rigged the game though, and you’ve bought into it.

    Your physical discs are only as good as your ability to download the game files and day-one patches from their servers. For the average user, there really is no benefit to having a disc.

    I hate it, but Sony made the choice for us as far back as the PS3.

    "And i own it forever"

    We are not talking about the PS2 or even PS3 here though. These new games do not fit on a disk and require constant updates and connection to servers. Any game that requires you to connect to the internet, even if you own the disc, you don't really own. They can shut that down anytime they feel like it.
