      Console games also used to be entirely on disk, and didnt require online connections just to play an offline single player game.

          I’m saying, not be cocksure in the ignorance of “That never happened before, surely it’ll never happen in the future”

          Because gaming companies have spent the past 15-20 years stripping away our rights and our ownership and our ability to play our games that we’ve paid for.

            But this is one we can be sure of, because discs are going away. That’s what started this whole thing. Discs aren’t going to start phoning home when they’re no longer even being manufactured.
