This weird in context of the show. Skips is the oldest, as an immortal, and would outlive the rest of them. Labeling him as the newest media is off. It'd be more accurate if it were depicted as daguerotype outliving digital.

Console players kinda deserve this. They put everything into a closed ecosystem and they couldn't justify thier usecase to the masses.

Guys, y'all did this to yourselves. You didn't have to use Steam when it launched, but you did because it was convenient.

Physical media started dying the moment people flocked to Steam for PC gaming.

The public wanted this. A niche minority doesn't. The overwhelming majority of game sales are now digital. Why would companies keep manufacturing discs when almost everyone is downloading their games?

And I know, I know, physical media is better for the consumer. I know about the EULAs, licensing, and the ownership issues. I'm not defending digital media. I'm simply saying: y'all made your bed, now sleep in it.

For the record, my entire game library is digital too, aside from some old Xbox 360 and PS4 games I still have on disc. I'm in the same boat. I'm no better than anyone else.

I just see reality for what it is.

If you want physical media back, stop buying digital games. Stop playing them. Delete your Steam account. Uninstall your games.

What the hell did you think these companies were going to do?
