Does your dog buy digital? No? That's why.

0:00 - Gameplay footage? No, what's important is you pay full price for GTA VI now!

36:45 - To buy or not to buy a Switch 2. That is the question.

Chat Transcript:

6:58 PM@addictedtochaos2​​PlayStation is dead to me.

6:58 PM@jaredknisely6213​​is it 90 pls in san diego too?

6:59 PM@addictedtochaos2​​It was 105 here yesterday, but a storm just came through and now it is 70.

6:59 PM@addictedtochaos2​​My bedroom is 95

7:00 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I spent all day at the movies yesterday just to beat the heat.

7:03 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Just got a commercial mid-sentence

7:04 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I wanted GTA VI, but no physical edition is an absolute dealbreaker.

7:05 PM@jaredknisely6213​​im not suprised by the steam machine price/my ssd that i bought in jan of last year 4x'ed in price

7:12 PM@addictedtochaos2​​It is almost certainly the case.

7:13 PM@addictedtochaos2​​From how they had it worded, it sounds like there are in game missions and activities locked to the ultimate edition.

7:16 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I’m buying the Godzilla remaster instead, it comes out on the same day as GTA.

7:17 PM@jaredknisely6213​​OT will probably be a holiday release

7:18 PM@jaredknisely6213​​you can blame sony for that choice

7:19 PM@jaredknisely6213​​rockstar knew

7:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​on the other hand, the OS is open source

7:21 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The industry will price itself to extinction.

7:21 PM@jaredknisely6213​​which is awesome

7:22 PM@jaredknisely6213​​steam said, build your own here's the code

7:29 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Was interested in the Steam machine, as I don’t have a gaming PC, then they announced the price and my interest died immediately.

7:34 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The proprietary component cables were for GameCube, the Wii supported 3rd party cables.

7:35 PM@jaredknisely6213​​i bought the switch in 2020 and got odyssey last week

7:36 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The gaming industry as a whole disgusts me lately.

7:38 PM@jaredknisely6213​​i still havent got the game yet

7:38 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I get that they are a business and need to be profitable, but the unending greed is just too much.

7:38 PM@jaredknisely6213​​could ask you to play dusk bloods

7:39 PM@jaredknisely6213​​

7:57 PM@addictedtochaos2​​According to sales data PlayStation’s first party games tend to sell more physical rather digital.

7:57 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I’m not buying a PS6 either.

7:58 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Purely a spreadsheet move.

7:59 PM@addictedtochaos2​​My backlog of 5,000+ games will last me the rest of my life.

8:00 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Shelly long

8:02 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Upside the president of Nintendo did say that the goal isn’t just to increase digital sales, but game sales overall, including physical games.

8:02 PM@jaredknisely6213​​but the switch as physical stuff

8:03 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Should buy one before another price increase.

8:03 PM@jaredknisely6213​​and a little less scummy than sony

8:04 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I think the Switch 2 version contains the Switch 1 version as well.

8:05 PM@addictedtochaos2​​There are also plenty of Switch games that play better on Switch 2

8:18 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Thankfully transferring data from Switch 1 to 2 is easy and straightforward.
