I mean right now sky is the limit on it's value. We're at a transitional period now where 360 games are starting to go up in price and they will next year as retailers are now starting to kill off selling physical games media.
Hearing rumors and reports that both best buy and wal mart will stop carrying physical xbox games next year. Though that makes sense considering the leaks of microsoft making a digital only series X to retire the current model with a disc drive.

@ooignignoktoo @dassauerkraut @Tadano if consoles go digital only I'm going to go pirate only. No ownership = no payment

Considering the PS5 literally just did that, it wouldn't be surprising. I won't buy those shitty digital only ones, my xb1 has been the most convoluted and frustrating console to own as is.
-
@coolboymew I probably will just stop caring at that point and just play the bazillion older physical games I already own
-
@Pendragon yeah there's that also

@hj @Tadano @ooignignoktoo @dassauerkraut and for the last time, I'm telling you to STFU, because that's not the point

@coolboymew @Tadano @ooignignoktoo @dassauerkraut i am once again reminding you about legal status of "owning" the game. You only own the license to play it yourself (or with a friend). Nothing more.

I haven't bought a physical game in awhile though. Last time I bought physical it was for a relative ( Medievil remake on PS4 ) . Though I don't have a switch and most most modern console is an original Xbox One. If I want to play current gen shit I just play on my gaming pc. Games I buy on xbox one i just stack bing rewards points and cash out and get games that way and that's a compromise for a digital copy I'm willing to settle with.
I do dislike modern gaming with the digital only beacuse in a lot of ways it kinda kills the social aspects of going out in retail and finding other gamers and chatting up and getting hyped for things.

@coolboymew @Tadano @ooignignoktoo @dassauerkraut what is the point? Playing the game is not enough for you?

@hj @Tadano @coolboymew @ooignignoktoo @dassauerkraut If i get a magazine subscription does the publisher get to come into my house take my magazines after i cancel the subscription? I refuse to spend money for the "license" to play a game.

Nowadays this is more true than not. Modern gaming sucks because it's soulless corporate cash grabs and the one time purchase wasn't enough they had to boil the frog with season passes and then the now gacha / loot box mechanics.
I miss early xbox live though where people talked in mics with randoms and it was a unique, fun experience.
Xbox Live went to shit when party chat got popular in the early 2010's because once party chat got introduced people just sat in lobbies all day chatting with the same people and it killed interactions with randoms online making it harder to network and find new people/friends to play with.

@ooignignoktoo @Tadano @coolboymew @dassauerkraut tbh for me the social aspect wasn't exactly there, and nowadays the very same phyiscal aspect appeared for me in local arcade place.
As for getting hyped that's didn't go away, and honestly hype culture is terrible. You get all hyped up, imagine the best thing possible and end up disappointed and angry, every. single. time.
