      Consoles weren't made to be online they were made to give the player control over the console but gaming companies are being attacked by environmentalists saying that digital age gaming is good for the environment when it actually isn't blame them for trying to kill off the game disk which won't happen let them learn the hard way.

    Digital ONLY is the worst mistake we don’t own it they own
    Edit: everyone who keeps saying “the game isn’t on the disc” that’s only a few games most of the games still have the games on the disc, the point is if their system goes down, if you account gets band, if anything happens, you still on a hard copy of the game to download on another account or to play still like I DID WHEN THE SYSTEM WHEN DOWN.

The only reason there not all physical is because I can't find physical copies of them. I hate buying digital. I have one series x with all digital in it set to my home Xbox. My other series x is all physical games installed and kept up to date so I can put game in and play without Internet. The biggest problem is having enough storage to keep everything installed and updated. Hope this helps. I love your channel Ray. I also watch Jimmy for PlayStation news, just because.

    Hey Ray,
    You do know that if you set your Xbox as your home Xbox that it will let you play digital games from your library if authentication services are down, right?
    I tested it with Fallout 4 GOTY edition before posting this just to double check myself and it worked fine.
    I do not own a physical copy, only digital. I disconnected my Xbox from all networks, then started Fallout 4 and continued a saved game. It did warn me that they couldn’t log in, but then asked if I wanted to play offline.
    I played for a couple of hours and then exited the game. A bit later I logged into my other Xbox and started Fallout 4 and saw I was on an old save, so I exited, went to my other Xbox & reconnected it, launched Fallout 4 and told it to use my
    Local copy of the save so it would sync back to the cloud. Worked like a champ!
    During the login outage a couple of days ago I had no issues continuing to play on my ‘Home’ Xbox throughout the outage, and the only weirdness I saw was that I got errors for the ‘Message of the Day’ couldn’t browse the Creation Club content, and couldn’t see the Xbox store to get new stuff. Games played fine besides that.
    Tried on my non-Home Xbox and nothing would load except disc based games, so I’m pretty sure I wasn’t just lucky :)
    Just saying because it’s not all doom and gloom like so many people would make it out to be.

    The biggest crime of selling digital licenses for games, is charging the same exact price as their hard disc counterparts. Every digital license sold is an extortionist kickback to the studio that was spared the cost of printing, packaging, shipping, stocking, and bandwidth, because even the cost of download relies on the consumer. There needs to be a total paradigm shift in the industry by either reducing the cost of digital licenses, or provide the consumer with the digital license when purchasing the disc. Digital simply does not equate to owning the disc that could be potentially resold, or even loaned to a friend. As noted, if the network is down, so is your access to your purchasing library.

I still have PC games on disc that I can install and not have to even bother with this crap. Just because they're new games doesn't mean they're all fun games worth all this hassle. Many older and fun games still out there waiting to be enjoyed until these companies get it together.

    Those of us who remember the disastrous announcement of Xbox One, remember specifically how they wanted the always online "feature" at launch and the Fandom revolted hard. As anticipated, it looks like all they did was delay and implemented it incrementally. The best way we, as console gamers, can do is BUY THE PHYSICAL COPIES! Also, this is the time to build up that physical library that includes games that aren't backward compatible (ex: Army of Two is available, but the sequels aren't). If you want access to your games, guaranteed without relying on a server, you need physical copies of your games.

    That's not a digital content issues, it's a connectivity issue. Even most of your hard copy games require Xbox/PlayStation network connection, so if that fails it doesn't matter if you have a hard copy or not

    The performance differences between XB and PS also make sense if you're familiar with how PC games behave on CPUs/GPUs with varying clock speeds and core/CU counts. XBSX's high compute unit count looks great on paper, but it's harder to make a game that's able spread the workload over so many lanes. A higher clock speed does better when there is a high workload thread causing a bottleneck.

    I think the reason why steam handles this issue better than the consoles is due to cloud and cross save. So the system has to occasionally verify and authenticate that the account is the one logging in to receive the cloud save. It also has to verify that the account accessing the content/game has the license since you can make multiple accounts on the console.

    The only thing I could say about the digital that is good is not being able to have your games stolen or stepped on by accident but personally digital would be a good way to go if Xbox implemented an offline security key check in an update that runs in the software background that can be installed on a usb drive that you plug in that has all your downloaded license keys

    The only benefit is you don't have to put the actual game disc in and if you have two Xboxes and two PlayStations in different rooms then you can just use it off that on your hard drive. The issue is that they own all the digital copies, since they can shut it down at any time. What if they shut down the Xbox one in the future then all the digital games you have are gone.

    Only thing is its cheaper for game devs and studios to make digital only games. It completely removes the cost of mass producing physical copies, which means more profit aka what they all want.

    The consoles need more storage, all of the data for the game needs to be stored on the console itself and then a CLONE of that data sent to the cloud. Ownership verification needs to go through the console itself, not Microsoft’s systems. The only thing that should go through Microsoft is Gamepass. But if you buy the game, the console should be able to verify ownership via a file in the game’s directory.
