VGC breaks down how the UK discussion around #StopKillingGames proceeded. Well argued and completely understandable from the petition side. Missing the point and utterly clueless from government side. They are still playing stupid on purpose.

Need some inspiration. Which physical game is on your Christmas wishlist?

It's here! Huge, huge thank you to @doesitplay.org for the giveaway and getting this prize to me! Super stoked to have this in my physical collection!

Home Computer Heroes Collection 1 Evercade Does it play offline? Yes Does it require a download? Yes* Most games run fine, but Planet X2 has a potential bug that can force you to restart the game. Best to patch the card.

PopSlinger Switch (played via Switch 2 BC) Does it play offline? Yes Does it require a download? No Ocassionally, hit detection can be spotty. You can still beat the game, though. THX for the review copy, @vgnysoft.bsky.social! In stock here (ref link): www.vgnysoft.com/?re...

People still claim that game-key cards are no different to other games since you still need to put the card in. They all overlook the fundamental advantage of actual physical releases: Having the game files on the medium, available anytime at your convenience. Unbeatable!

As reported by Retro Dodo, PCSX2, famous PS2 emulator, now runs almost every PS2 game. We need proper legal backing now. If companies let the ESA hunt archivists and want to replace games with remakes, let us legally preserve the OGs you don't care about at least.

The Pedestria Switch Does it play offline? Yes Does it require a download? No Absolutely flawless playthrough. Once again a big thank you to our friends from @superraregames.bsky.social for providing a review copy!

GBiz article headline: "physical games are bad for environment". Quote from study author: "still better than digital overall". Praises Xbox for their "green" console. Closes by advocating for a used games market. Make proper physical games that won't become landfill then, duh.

Metro: Last Light Redux Switch (played via Switch 2 BC) Does it play offline? Yes Does it require a download? No Very polished build. Initial load times for levels can be lengthy, but no major bugs or performance hickups throughout the game.

Recent comments from Circana + corresponding articles once again sound like all-digital is inevitable. Only so many you can force, though. A part of the market will neither cave to propaganda nor forced obsolescence. They will only spend money on the product they want.

Borderlands 3 Xbox One (played via Series X BC) Does it play offline? Yes Does it require a download? No* Stay in performance mode if you want a decent experience. Even then, you will come across a list of bugs, some of which require restarting bosses/at certain checkpoints.

There they are, putting more Resident Evil games on GOG. Celebrated as heroes across the globe. And then Capcom goes on to do THIS. An entire pack full of future e-waste. The tiniest indies announce full games on card, yet it seems like an impossible task for wealthy industry giants.
