Rooster

@skylerity You think they'll bother? 😂

@TheRooster They’ll probably just require a review period and have AI analyze it for anything cool and block it.

I give it 24 hours max

@ShawnIsShady I'm afraid to ask

@TheRooster Maybe 12 hours once I get ahold of it

@TJ_DarkRage That's crazy, especially for 2014's standards.

@TheRooster In 2014, I went to a brick and mortar store to buy a physical DVD copy of South Park: The Stick of Truth for PC. When I installed it, it turned out to be nothing more than an app that downloaded the program from Steam.

RIP. They just killed physical games, because they don't want you to own anything. - Sony is done making discs. - Next XBOX won't even have a drive. They'll cut all the printing, packaging, and shipping costs, but still charge us $70+ for a download. "Consumer preferences are changing" is BS. This is about removing the only leverage we gamers have left. Think about it. Right now if a digital game is $70, you have options: - check local retailers - buy a used copy on eBay - borrow it from a friend Physical retail creates competition. It forces PlayStation and Xbox to run sales to compete with the used market. Once the disc drive dies, that competition will die with it. They will own 100% of the distribution pipeline. If they want a 4-yo game to stay at $70, it stays at $70. Zero alternatives. It’s literally a total monopoly, but they're selling it to us as "convenience" And don't even get me started on game preservation. When we buy digital, we're just renting a temporary license until some corporate spreadsheet decides the server costs aren't worth it anymore. We already know the PS3 and Vita stores are on death row. PC is starting to look like the only place left where we actually have choices. Yeah it's 100% digital too but at least Steam, Epic, and GOG have to compete with each other. On console we're just trapped...

@TheCassiniGames "Oh, we already told you that one day we could take away the product that you specifically paid for, and you accepted that! 🤭🙏❤️"

@TheRooster We won't be able to do anything in the future when they start deleting games (like they did recently with the paid movies) and say it was always written in the ToS.

@Profitmargined Xbox has a big opportunity to reverse their fortunes in the console war by going consumer-friendly here.

@TheRooster No one knows that for sure about the next Xbox If anything after today, I would think they will have a disc drive option Pretty much the only way they can turn things around at this point

@NikTek This... When there isn't secondary market, we're fully trapped. And God knows if they'll even run big sales when they don't have competition.

> raise console prices > get rid of physical media -> you are here <- > raise game prices to $100 and beyond > completely remove the ability to share any digital games > buying new games will become an expensive hobby, but don't worry they'll definitely make a subscription tier for new games that come out > hardware will become pricier, the cheapest way to play is using cloud gaming services > offer a subscription that is reasonable at first > gradually raise subscription prices You will own nothing and be happy If we don't act about Sony's outrageous decision to stop physical media in 2028, gaming might be doomed

@TheCassiniGames I'm in.

@TheRooster W

I speak for everyone when I say we need Titanfall 3

@TheCassiniGames Hope it'll have the same level of attention to detail.

I can't believe a game is finally surpassing RDR2 in graphical fidelity! Only Rockstar can beat Rockstar.

@Sinistar2077 I hope DMZ will be fun.

@TheRooster I'm playing the shit out of mw4

My hype for the rest of 2026 (Updated with the latest announcements) Template link below if you want to make your own tier list.

@SynthPotato OLED is the new standard. Just look at the difference...

LED vs OLED display in GTA 6

@____Greed______ Thanks 😂 And yeah, sad to see Embark missing out on a huge potential. I'll always get come back to it with big updates, but I think I'll never enjoy it as much as I did during the honeymoon phase.

@TheRooster Yeah I did notice the changes. I haven’t noticed the non arc posts but I respect it and rooster is a good replacement. Sad what happened to the game I truly enjoyed. Nice to see you won’t just be packing things up for an expedition haha

@KillemOnArrival Didn't know they were aiming for 2026. I've just added that to the template.

@TheRooster Where the hell id the Ocarina Of Time remake? That’s gonna be the best game to come out this year bar none.

@lazarus_da44696 Added 👍

@lazarus_da44696 Oh let me add that!

@AtheistIts That's right... Totally forgot that.

@TheRooster Metro 2039 & Fable are Feb 2027 games.

@____Greed______ I moved on from Scrappy to Rooster a long time ago. My name, bio, and banner haven't been ARC-related in a long time, and I haven't posted about ARC for months, either. I'm perfectly happy keeping "Rooster" as a legacy from the Scrappy days.

@TheRooster Are you gonna switch your account if arc dies? Genuinely asking not trying to hate or start anything.

@Rogue_Vortex No hate, it's just that I have absolutelt zero interest 😂

@TheRooster Did MC Dungeons kill your dog or something? 😭

@lazarus_da44696 Solid list. You liked the first Sinking City?

@TheRooster Here is my list minus Hellraiser which would be next to Wolverine
