Take a look at Snapchat, Microsoft Solitaire, or most dating apps. That's what this usually looks like after 5-10 years.

Discord's fine now but it sure won't be in 5 years. Companies going public like this always end badly
This drama doesn't deserve to be the top post here. Let those morons have their miserable lives while the rest of the world enjoys a fun video game
best game in the series imo
Maybe you should have watched the reveal video then
my steam download speed is so dead right now. rip their servers
Plastic cases, discs, etc are expensive and degrade over time. Consoles will break down. 50 years from now there'll be too much history to keep making copies of everything worth saving. If we do want a video game preservation law, make it digital.
Emulation and piracy should be legal for games older than ~20 years, or if the parent company goes under. Online games should be required to make an offline mode patch before shutting down.
As a related example, my parents have a bunch of bookshelves packed with everything they bought over the years. And as a kid I never touched any of it because the books had become all gross and yellowed. Physical game archives will last a couple decades longer but in the end it'll be the same result.
Well yeah used games are always cheaper. These were ~~$60~~ $50 new
When games were expecting to be rentals, the first few levels would be front loaded with the best that the game had to offer, and then later levels would be more phoned in
Still happens today. First impressions matter, budgets are finite, and sometimes reviewers only play the first few parts.
Assuming you haven't ruled this out already, test your plans out now using whatever computer you already own. At the hobbyist level you can do a lot with 8GB ram and no graphics card. 7B LLMs are really good now and they're only going to get better.

Terra Battle 1, created by the OG final fantasy devs. Best Uematsu soundtrack of that decade and one of the best mobile gachas ever. RIP
That just proves they're already willing to make it worse. Dating apps have $500/mo plans now. Snapchat is 95% ads, 5% chat
