Is physical media still really going to be playable in the future when the servers go down? Every cart I buy there's some kind of update needed before you can play it.
If the servers are dead 20 years from now? Won't it be the same situation as these key cards, crap?

Nintendo makes their games playable from cart but any bug fixes or performance improvement downloads won't be there once their servers go down. Nintendo is one of the few companies that bother, though. Most publishers don't want us to play these games forever. Consumers have the power to stop this but they've chosen short term convenience over longevity and ownership.
Spent my weekend with Kingdom Hearts Final Mix on proud mode (that may have been a mistake), and Astro's Playroom (amazing demo title).
I'm also listening to an audio book a friend gifted me called Dungeon Crawler Carl. It's not good, but it is funny. It's like if the Borderlands movie actually tried to appeal to people who liked the game.
This weekend I returned to Monster Hunter Wilds to partake in the Festival of Accord: Blossomdance. Also been playing more Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Thanks to all this talk about Tetris99 I fell down that hole again this weekend. I didn't have a lot of time to game regardless, but it was time well spent while playing Tetris99.

Or be forced to publicly release game code or something if they don't renew licences or something, after a certain number of years.
Or just be like GOG with no DRM, we can make our own backups.
This weekend I traveled back in time to around 4000 B.C. and started my own glorious empire in Civ 6! Kneel before Emperor Zod!

I started Clair Obscur. France always makes for a good videogame setting. Combat is basically Legend of Dragoon, with dodge and block.

I was at a music festival this weekend so I didn't do much gaming. I did play a bit of Oblivion.
How does 5.8 Gig + 11 Gig add up to 13 Gig?
