Its just a con to get you to have to buy the games again.

bought super Metroid on the Wii? Well now you need to pay again to playing it on the switch!
Its really not since you dont buy the games outright and the only time this was a thing was on the 3DS and that seems more because they didnt have their accounts properly synced.

Wouldnt the GTAV model also just mean adding a lot of shit to an existing game and giving it an Online Mode?

Just image Super Metroid Online

yeah, digital has always meant that you are purchasing the license to play- which admittedly is pretty fucking dumb.

sucks that is so convenient

I more so meant that its been released on ps3, ps4, ps5, pc, and THEN GTAO became its own entity. Or maybe before ps5 I cant remember.

Well that is the nature of it. Though I will give them credit across most systems and maybe PC. Its not whatever horrible shit Apple does with its digital licensing.

Which is utterly goofy why I cannot play the copy of Flyentology on modern devices but I boot up an old iPod with that has the HDD built in and the song plays fine.

The Wii store is literally down. I have my original Wii and I cant re-download games I previously purchased.

All Im trying to demonstrate is that the comment that digital games are always available has been wrong in the past.

Physical does too, just with First-sale Doctrine attached.

To be fair you could argue thats the same as physical they just dont have the technology to enforce it. Hence why purchasing DVDs you plan to rent out costs a lot more than for home use.

And honestly physical copies arent the end all be all thing either when you consider wear and tear and when a device gets older it tends to be harder and harder to replace or repair if need be.

Fair enough but that wasnt the comment I was arguing against.

I do agree physical isnt great either due to day 1 patches or DLC. When the services shut down and those patches are unavailable or you cant download the DLC thats almost as bad. Whole thing is fucked.

Metroid has historically sold like dog shit, unfortunately. It's the underdog series that keeps coming back swinging with absolute masterpieces and it seems like maybe its gaining more traction

During one of the greatest game ever tournaments on here a few years back, someone made a bet that they'd eat cat food if one of the current games lost (don't remember which).

The dude welches, so I made the same bet for Metroid Prime. When Prime lost, I posted a video of a romantic candlelit dinner for one with some fancy feast
