Xbox Just Screwed Over Creators

Xbox just proved why going digital is the worst idea ever. I'm sorry, but this is exactly why I will never fully trust an all-digital future. Every time these gaming companies start talking about how digital is "the future," they always leave out the part where they control everything. You don't own the game. You own permission to access it...until they decide otherwise. Watching everything that's happening with Xbox lately just proves the point.When you buy a physical game, you can put it on your shelf, lend it to a friend, sell it years later, or play it even if a store disappears. There's something comforting about actually owning what you paid for.With digital, you're depending on servers, licensing agreements, internet connections, company policies, and accounts staying in good standing. If something changes behind the scenes, you're the one left hoping everything still works.People used to laugh at gamers who wanted physical discs. Now those same people are starting to understand why so many of us refused to give them up. We're paying the same $70 or even more for a digital download that we can't resell, can't trade, can't collect, and in some situations can even lose access to. How does that make sense?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kingdom-influence-media--6649722/support."Kingdom Influence Media is an independent, faith-based lifestyle platform that combines news, community, and creativity.
