I’m late to it, but this is a fantastic documentary that engages the issues I have with digital distribution and the end of physical media.

The big downside of the convenience. Things you buy can be altered/censored/deleted at any time. Even a seemingly good thing like Apple updating HD purchases to UHD can be bad if you don’t like the new transfer. You’re stuck with the update as far as I know.
Amazon argues users don't actually own purchased Prime Video content thr.cm/dhjdhLp

Video game source code and assets are our best tools for studying how a game was made, yet access to this behind-the-scenes material is virtually unheard of for historians. We're changing that, starting now. Introducing The Video Game Source Project. gamehistory.org/video-game-s…

A GoFundMe has been put up for Voltage Video Games - a retro game store in Syracuse that was vandalized and looted last night. Any dollar you may be able to spare would be appreciated. gofundme.com/f/help-voltage-…

Want to read about physical video games, retail stores and my existential crisis? Here's my review of @gamestoredoc by @kevinthejames, now live at @ifonlineuk: infinitefrontiers.org.uk/doc… This escalates quickly, as the kids say. (film's great, by the way)

Just finished Not For Resale (@GameStoreDoc) and loved it! So many great stories about people and their memories with games. These stores are clearly much more than just a point of sale. I hope they find ways to endure the increasingly digital landscape.

Watching this, it’s been fun so far. Some days I really miss all my belongings that I lost. Slowly got some of it back, but mostly only if it benefits 2.0. I love the convenience of digital and I hate clutter, but miss having shelves of gaming pride haha.
