    There are so many other factors and motivations that a) keep console games from being PC compatible and b) incentivize closed console ecosystems

    It’s one of my pet peeves around the the online discourse regarding discs. So many people are looking at the issue one-dimensionally, and don’t have a full picture of motivations and implications.

    I’m not gonna pretend it’s not about profit. Of course it’s all about money. But it is decisively not “we’re gonna make more money by taking people’s stuff away when we feel like it”
