I got no horse in this race anyways. I buy physical if I really like a movie, otherwise right on my plex it goes from the high seas

Everything. I buy games from studios that deserve my money and pirate games from sketchy or woke studios to see if they are worth buying.

Is that latter set games without demos available? Because I’m all for pushing for demos to be standard practice.

I used to pirate games as demos and buy them if I wanted to keep playing because I was tired of being burned by shit games but since steams return policy I haven’t had to. I don’t think there’s any real excuse to pirate games anymore unless you’re just tight on funds.

If someone can't afford a game then there is a bigger issue and they need to reconsider work and income versus fucking off with a game.

Yeah. But all the felons in this case are WFH software engineers that have father-in-law vendettas.

Demanding a physical disc for a game that runs online, on servers that are run by the company that makes the game is is a very boomer-brained thing.
I've got a dozen+ discs of MMO's that are now defunct. Even if an EMU popped up you'd be able to download it for free to play it. It's just a nonsensical thing now to complain about.

And I would if someone sold it to me.
But as seen, they don't sell those movies. They provide you with a license whose terms you did not negotiate, and that can be revoked at any time. So I can't buy the movie from a legitimate seller? I'll buy it from the black market instead.
And that's what I do. I pay a Usenet subscription, and use a dedicated lookup/download system. I am paying. Just to the people who are willing to sell me the actual movie instead of temporary shit.

The studios are willing to sell the movies too. Blu-ray’s come with a digital code. And well, a permanent disc. You’re still just pirating even though you’re paying the pirate hosts.

What was the last movie that you downloaded from Usenet? If it was available to purchase as a physical disc, then why didn't you buy it?

GTA 6 is a MMO?
The collectors edition of a single player game should certainly have actual disks (even if I think collector editions are marketing bullshit made for retards with a hoarder mentality).
