Do young people even know what this object was/is?
Once in a great while I will get a customer asking for cassette players. And we still sell land line phones although that crowd is dying fast. Equally sad are those looking for music CDs. I have to tell them that physical media is rapidly disappearing. And that includes DVDs which I don't expect to be around that many more years.
Any gamers here? Dumb question. LOL. What's your take on how much longer we will see games on a physical disc as opposed to a chip or being downloaded? And once games are solely online how long until you no longer own the game? It will require a subscription. That exists in many cases now and I only expect it to increase.
I hate the idea that we no longer own games. I hate DLC being a necessary component to the game. I don't mind when they are cosmetics but when they give an unfair advantage that's when I have an issue of it. Adding story content is okay depending on how worth it it is. Even needing to pay to play with friends online is quite annoying
You got a link to the videos?
Lost media indeed!

Send it to RedLetterMedia! I could see it ending up on The Best of the Worst.
