    I wonder why console companies are having such a hard time figuring out fucking write-protected USB drives?

    it’s almost like they’re strategically stupid or something.

      That’s basically Nintendo’s Switch 2 authorization key. Game is digital download with a mandatory physical key for verification.

      Functions the same, one key per registration. You can’t lend a game or resell if the console manufacturer decides the key has been used already.

      They are killing the used game market like they have killed the DVD market. Everyone needs a subscription for all media and it can be removed and deleted from your account at any time. See recent Sony removal of 500 movies from people’s libraries.

      That would be too easy to not make more money from. The line must go up. Every used game you sell or trade is a tear rolling down the cheek of a shareholder. Don’t make them sad they’re just lil birthday boys
