@StopKilingGames @DoesItPlay1 DRM and legislated consumer rights is the final boss. Also, this problem is a lot bigger than video games Cars, phones, computers, TV's, and more are all facing DRM entropy Instead of looking at PS2, try to imagine PS7. This is where all media/technology is going

Digital ownership is the only way to truly own your games, it aint that hard. @DoesItPlay1 is part of the movement for exactly that (and cause we like our discs). Love or hate @Asmongold, but he’s completely right here: you can lose access to your game even if it’s on disc.

Long post--sorry. The fixation around physical media is a red herring. People who obtained physical copies of Crimson Desert early weren't able to play it because the PS5 locked them out of playing it. You can look this up, multiple articles about the topic. Clearly physical media didn't save you then, and it won't save you when a licensing agreement expires and a game will no longer run on your software until you download an update that might remove features/content. A good example of this is ironically Mixtape. Because the game has a large amount of licensed music, it's plausible that one of those contracts will expire and a patch will be pushed that removes a song from the game. If you don't download that patch, you will no longer be able to access or play the game. Physical media isn't the holy grail, consumer rights and protections is. Why aren't we using Apple lighting cables and we are using USB-C instead? It's not because of Apple, it's because of the EU. While PC players have more work-arounds for this issue, console players are at the mercy of updates they have no choice but to accept. Physical media won't save you from that. The convenience of digital downloads should not be viewed as a forfeiture of consumer protections. The reason why record labels still sell vinyls is because people still buy vinyls. While there are I'm sure some people who still purchase video games physically, I would guess that number is decreasing every year. If physical copies were popular, Gamestop would still have video games in it instead of Funko pops and tshirts. I know this is the unpopular take to have. but you can't expect companies to keep making physical editions of games if not enough people are buying them. My point with all of this is that a lot of peoples' concern and frustration comes from the lack of control they have over the media they "own". Physical media does not solve this problem when it's at the mercy of the software running the consoles/game launchers. If you want to solve the problem, you should be supporting initiatives like Stop Killing Games @StopKilingGames.

asmongold spitting facts about physical media

@Dexerto Ngl they need to just ban streaming and driving entirely Want to stream yourself going somewhere? Get an Uber or have someone else drive At best it is a neutral effect, at worst, it causes accidents and kills people. Pretty easy logical decision

ExtraEmily has been banned on Twitch

@HadleyFreeman This freak pushed legislation to make it possible for a 24 year old to rape a 14 year old and not be put on the sex offender registry (I'm not kidding look it up) The only problem I have with him being harassed and abused is that it's being done by the wrong people

These Wiener videos are so chilling. I don’t like WW2 analogies, but I think all of us who grew up hearing about how our grandparents were shouted at and shunned in 1930s Europe cannot help but see echoes here

@Awk20000 Never forget when Chance spent well over one hour on the Red Wolf of Radagon in an Elden Ring randomizer run because he insisted on using a slow 2H that did poison damage but because he couldn't hit the boss enough, he couldn't do enough build up damage to debuff the boss

Soda puts Asmongold in the F tier of his all time streamer tier list "F tier, politics..I stopped watching after Expedition 33, he did the boring cringe build that everyone else did..annoyed me”

@TMZ Childhood morbid obesity should be categorically considered child abuse The fact that we let these disgusting filthy pigs force-feed their children to death is a disgrace Why tolerate such gluttony and dysfunction?

@BloodMessageBM Please release this game tomorrow and give it to me

@Bungie Welcome Home

@Pirat_Nation The AI Steam label is obvious future-proofing from potential AI regulation, and legal liability Tim is right that AI is widely used in game dev though. The Steam tag is an honor system and I'd guess if every studio that used AI posted that tag, 80% of games would have it

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has called Valve’s AI disclosure policy on Steam “irresponsible,” arguing that forcing developers to label games using AI could unfairly target smaller studios. Sweeney believes AI will soon be a normal part of game development, so requiring developers to label games that use AI “makes no sense.” "I think it's really irresponsible of Valve. They shouldn't do it, because it makes it much, much, much harder for a game developer to have a chance of success. You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does." He also warned that these labels could make it easier for people to review-bomb games, especially those made by smaller studios.

@DefiantLs All forms of social and political conflict can be understood through the lens of online video games Raid Molten Core in Classic WoW You haven't truly seen the dark soul of humanity exposed until you witness a ret paladin explaining why they need Onslaught Girdle over a warrior

Asmongold: Labour just performed a tank swap. Starmer had too many debuffs so they pulled him out and brought in a new tank... The new guy is going to do the same thing for the same raid.. You didn't win, they just reset your aggro.

Asmongold says he's "more interested in video games than sex" "Girls are nice sure, but I really like video games ... that's my favorite thing to do"

@Antunes1 It's the guys asking for this, not the women Aside from the "hiding him from his other hoes" reasons, it's good business sense If you're a VC, do you want to invest in a family man or a fuckboy? Social media exposure can be a huge red flag

Dating in 2026 is a humiliation ritual.

@KirscheVerstahl Chimping out is the only way to match force with cancel culture people Unless you match and overwhelm force against them, they'll continue to get their way by manufacturing outrage and scaring companies If other people take the low road, meet them there with a shovel

"What the fuck is going on" You freaks have enjoyed destroying people's lives for edgy jokes or having a difference of opinion from you for many years Everyone is tired of it, cancel culture stops here companies will never be allowed to forget when they toss someone out to appease a mob You people would swam companies on twitter, tag sponsors, flood customer support forms, threaten employees to create fear in order to force them to get rid of someone you don't like Now, we will do the same thing. The backlash every time someone is dropped or fired will be so great companies will stop capitulating and ignore you like they should have originally done Your spellcasting "racist, transphobic, misogynistic, nazi scum!" doesn't work anymore, everyone knows it's bullshit Welcome to the rice fields, motherfucker

@ADL @nytimes Here are some additional horrible slurs that some bigots online have been using, hopefully you can use these to better combat antisemitism None of these are funny and anyone laughing is a horrible person

A slur doesn't stop being a slur because teenagers started using it. Today's @nytimes "On Language" column treats the antisemitic slur "goyslop" as a fun linguistic curiosity rather than what it is: a term rooted in white supremacist conspiracy theories. Normalizing this kind of language is dangerous. "Goyslop" is not just edgy slang. It combines "goy," the Hebrew word that colloquially refers to non-Jews, with "slop" to promote a conspiracy theory that Jewish people deliberately poison non-Jews with cheap food to keep them docile. It was coined and spread by antisemites and white supremacists. No amount of teenage adoption changes that origin. Such terms spread negative stereotypes and conspiracy theories. Their normalization is exactly what the bigots who coined them aspire to. A bit more on this here: momentmag.com/goyslop/

@TobyTurner Sorry, I should have used your real name Patriot.

asmongold reacts to invader scum and calls me ‘tobiscus’

@HasanabiProd I've spent hours covering the UK grooming gang reports. I have zero sympathy for people who are downplaying it and calling it bullshit. The atrocities against those children and the years of authorities covering it up is disgusting

Asmongold openly defends an anti-Muslim Terrorist attack in the UK where 5 men got stabbed. "This is nothing, this is not even remotely bad...who gives af, who cares, I don't wanna hear about this..."now he (hasan) wants us to be worried about something bad happening to him"

@RupertLowe10 After the effort and cost you and the rest of Restore went through in order to make this a reality, it was the least I could do Thank you

American patriot @Asmongold read our entire Rape Gang Inquiry report to his millions of subscribers over seven hours. He has already done more than the entire British media establishment. An incredible effort. youtube.com/watch?v=Q6xOU_…

@zachbussey This is a great feature Now, if you sub to a female streamer and she gets exposed for having a boyfriend, you can safely refund your sub

Twitch will soon launch a "Withdraw from Sub" option for European Union users who, within 14 days of subscribing, can receive a full refund.

@GregoryKBovino @LaurenWitzkeDE @remigrationinst I'm really starting to like this guy

Vlad the Impaler was the OG Border Patrol Agent of Romania. They called him ‘ruthless’ and ‘vicious,’ but he cared about his people and protected their borders. @LaurenWitzkeDE @remigrationinst

@unvarnishedvoid Correct. They are functional animals who should be institutionalized via either prison or mental asylums They can't be rehabilitated, they can only be removed from society The biggest weakness of western society is the lie that all men are created equal

"Careful the most impoverished powerless people in your society are the ones oppressing you causing all the problems" is certainly a take
