I’m not surprised at all, physical media is only good for the consumer. They want subscriptions so they can keep you paying constantly, there’s no benefit for them

As a consumer I hate physical media

Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech · 4 months ago

yeah I hate owning things that I can keep and hold on to without someone revoking it away from me.

My physical media was destroyed in a fire, but I still have my backed up digital library. We all accept some risk!

I’m sorry to hear that, but yeah I rip my media and then stream it, it’s more about obtaining my copy that they can’t take away. I’m glad your backups made it!
