So you’re saying, because it would rip straight to another cartridge, it could be argued it’s streamlining distribution?
I would hope that a court would see through that argument. There’s a pretty good track record of allowing personal use of personal property. But I wouldn’t be surprised either if they convinced a court that this was explicitly for distribution purposes.
Is it illegal to rip a game that you own onto a device that you own? My understanding is that’s 100% legal, not gray area at all. The only issue would be if you distributed it.
I don’t think that’s true with how much support they give to their first party titles. I mean, their console exclusives are top-tier.
Another good one. I’ll include it.
I included Fall Guys because I liked it. I included Fortnite because it’s one of the most popular games ever made. It would be weird not to include it.
Good call! I can’t believe I forgot that one!

If we don’t include backwards compatibility, PS1 easily. So many iconic and underrated RPGs from that time. If we do count BC, it would either be PS2 or PS3 by technicality.
Do you have a lot of UMD games? I got a PSTV (the Vita console), hacked it to use expanded memory (just follow the steps you can find online), and repurchased most of my physical catalog digitally. I think a lot of those games are locked at $10 since the store can no longer receive updates.
I still have my 1000 for physical. But even then, Vita incompatible games like Crisis Core and Spyro (for some reason the PS1 game isn’t compatible with Vita) are available on my PS5.
The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection is 6 of the 9 games.
For $30, I’m definitely picking this one up.
I loved it. The story is engaging and EXTREMELY well told.
The combat starts barebones and gets more engaging as you unlock more abilities. It stays simplistic enough that you can mix and match to your style, but there are enough different loadouts for you to try different play styles. With ability cool downs, it kind of feels like the ATB system merged into an action game at times.
Side content isn’t great and it’s pretty easy. Although it’s worth it for the narrative additions to the story.
DLC wasn’t great. The first one was a missed opportunity for some arena type fights and new dynamic elements. It ends up being uneventful.
The second DLC is better, but they end up making parts of it WAY to hard.
I want that controller. Also, a faceplate for my (original version) PS5 would be cool.
I love the ever expanding classics catalog for Premium, in addition to the rest of the games offered. If they hadn’t jacked up their prices, I’d probably still be subscribed.
As someone who buys expensive games, games I’m excited for, or just franchises I’m invested in, the death of discs is going to really make me reevaluate my gaming. I’ll probably at least wait for a sale for every single game if I can’t have a physical copy.
Almost all of my digital purchases are cheap games.
20 years ago it was $5 and maybe like 10% of skills were locked behind it. I noticed very little impact from it. But I’m pretty sure end game stuff was locked. IIRC, dragon armor was locked and may have been the best armor.
I’d be surprised if that general model changed significantly.
Honestly, Bubsy and Insomniac is a pretty stellar combo. Maybe Sucker Punch.
Not related, I would love to open a bar called Bubsy’s with the tag line “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”
Arc the Lad in the art of the originals set after III. To be clear, Twilight of the Spirits would still be canon, but it’s also 1,000 years in the future.
I want a game in the Black Marsh. And I want it to be weird like Morrowind where I can kill anybody and become a god (from absolutely nothing).
Like, in Morrowind you’re literally not important. Even the Nerevarine hopefuls die and they just find another. Oblivion you’re given instructions (by the Emperor, IIRC). Skyrim you’re the Dragonborn pretty much immediately.

Well that’s interesting. It does say the law won’t override fair use. But I assume it blocks it regardless.
