My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

        “Always Online” form of DRM is the most stupid thing anyone could ever do to a single-player.
        Ubisoft and EA Games come to mind.

      I’m such a weirdo with this, because I don’t mind owning digital games, but I really don’t enjoy reading books digitally. I have a massive library that my partner is constantly exasperated by ahah

      As for someone who was grown up by his computer, having digital media on disk feels almost the same as on the shelf.

      Of course if it’s DRM free and written in common format.

      What do you mean by “owning”? Steam/EpicGames game and Amazon movie like owning? That would not be owning, but since they are commonly refered as such “owning” makes sense. It is important to differentiate this with GOG Game like owning, because GOG games are, once downloaded, completely independent of GOG and the Internet. Similar to that would be pirated Movies, and most pirated Software with the difference that you don’t legally own it. Like a stolen DVD lol.
