You know, I even did this in the office the other week actually, where I picked up one of my PlayStation games and handed it to uh one of my colleagues and lent it to them, right?

We're not gonna be able to do that anymore.

We can't do that anymore.

So, you know, that is if we both want to play this game, we both need to subscribe to this service going forward.

What I think will be the interesting um comparison is so if you look at, you know, a lot of a lot was made of uh GTA, the new GTA game, which is coming out in November, not being available on a disc at all, right?

Yeah.

That game came out originally on like the previous one, came out on the Xbox three sixty, right?

So it's hard to argue that what was on the disc

For that game is the same as what you play now.

These games expand and they grow and they go from all those sorts of things.

But that being said, how do you preserve these things too?

Like that's my big concern.

Like, you know, you can have all these games.

You're not going to get like a snapshot of what that game was at that time.

Because if the server gets shut down, if studios get shut down, if all of these things happen like we've just seen with Xbox and they decide, okay, that's it, we're not making these things anymore, and it's all gone, then it's gone.

So like that's a a cultural problem, I think, from from moving to this sort of subscription based system where everything is just on an online store and we can download these things all the time, but not having a physical copy of stuff.

Um, you do run into an issue.

And where I think the comparison is slightly different because in PC gaming

It has sort of been a thing where digital downloads has really taken off and it's been um, you know, the the predominant way to play games for such a really long time.
