    I admire your optimism, but I think this will get used as leverage for a push to cloud gaming. The end goal is for is to own nothing.

    They’re certainly welcome to attempt selling that to me.

    They won’t like the outcome, but that’s more of a them problem.

      We’ll see. I hope you’re right. Similar tactics in the housing market have created situations in which rent is cheaper than mortgage payments, which is a bad portent.

        I mean, I’ve already got a backlog of 100+ Steam and GOG games I haven’t played yet, plus something like 1000+ retro game ROMs, and I’m happy to go digging in the crates as it were. There are already more games available than I’ll have time to play in my lifetime.

        They push cloud gaming and I go fuck off entirely.
