Disc, cartridge, same shit. You are focusing on the media because the lot of you don't understand what it is to be able to resell it rent games.

The simple fact remains I play more games that I want than you for cheaper by renting them. And this pisses people off here. I haven't even brought up $400 GPUs into the equation 🤣.

Your criticism was specifically with the fact that it didn't have the capability to read discs. Something concerning the medium by which you can get to a game. I commented on that. If you want to talk about the latter than I place more value on owning my games and I'd rather not rent. Also, it's not worth the effort for me to try to sell a physical copy of a game.

Why would that piss anyone off? Why would anyone even care? The way we consume media is personal and different for everyone. You seem to place a lot of value on the amount of games you've played over the course of a year. Other people, shockingly, might not.
