    The Xbox servers going down really made a lot of people see how silly always online requirements are. Been saying for years its not good for us and people just brushed it off but now they see what happens when everything is controlled by one part which can fail. Weird thing was that less than a day before PSN was down for a short time compared to xbox, starting to think this was caused by some outside influence.
  • The All-Digital-Future isnt't the biggest problem here when a lot of your physical games also does not work due to some DRM-Check or forced always Online. That's the most concerning problem here.
  • Jon - "I hate when companies release digital first and physical later, super annoying." Also Jon - " I will be double dipping on both digital and physical." This is why they do it. Have some restraint.
  • @xikesgaming
    This MIGSwitch nonsense will hurt the second-hand market. Any used game has potentially been dumped and therefore susceptible to bans, because somewhere there is another identical ID.
  • Microsoft be like “but, don’t you guys have internet?”
  • What i love about the 3DS Generation is, that we had no Fake Cartridges like, GB, GBA and NDS
  • @animedrawer69
    Imagine getting a warning from Nintendo to stop selling modded systems loaded with pirated games and still doing it anyway.
  • @Spendingryan
    That xbox outage was strange, I could still download and update halo infinite, I just couldn't actually play it lol, and since it's xbox you can't launch YouTube or any TV apps without signing in turning the console into a paperweight.
  • This should be a real wake up call to those that defend all digital, always online etc..I still prefer physical over digital. And yeah, they are making physical copies rely on digital aspects now too. But at least old physical games on like 7th gen and older is fine to play offline and stuff.
  • Got a call from my mother, the Xbox service being down prevented her from being able to play solitaire on her laptop, stop this always online garbage Microsoft.
  • @Jzwiz
    Idk why people fanboy for consoles in the comments, if you only hype one and want the others to die, guess what, if they die then your company has a monopoly and has no incentive to keep prices at what they are. Say microsoft/sony said gnite. Suddenly nintendo might be like “hmm our console is worth double and games are $100 now” and vice versa. You want all companies to do well as you need competition. Not just for prices but for innovation.
  • @DavidtheRam
    With the amount of internet services down yesterday, I'd argue that losing access to our video games would be the least of our concerns in the face of a major internet outage.
  • @MedalionDS9
    Stay safe guys and be vigilant... the rustling of bushes could be the Nintendo Ninjas drawing close
  • @faceurhell
    Xbox, PlayStation and even Steam need to remove always online access to games. Steam as a whole could really benefit from requiring less to no DRM.
  • @eppy5630
    Sony was doing such a good job the past year of showing that a all digital future is not the way to go, that XBOX was feeling left out and had to just get in on some of that action.
  • I waited for the physical version of Metroid Prime Remaster; I can wait for anything at this point. It's great excuse to tackle the rest of the backlog.
  • @furuthebat
    A legit use case for Mig Switch seems to be, only if you have a huge physical collection and want to take it with you on the go ... Backing up every copy.
  • @cjlister8508
    I couldn't play my Elden Ring disc at first due to the outage, but then I realised that just turning the wifi off meant that it would no longer try to connect and I could play just fine. Beat another boss. It was a good session.
  • @gordon3178
    How I find out which games can be played offline is turning internet off on console and see which game work
  • @duderdude4831
    The only way to play games offline with mostly physical media is on the Switch
