Upvote for the ROSE Online b-roll. God I loved that game.
Edit: I commented too soon. Didn't expect ROSE to actually be related to the topic at hand lol

We are now at the age with the kids and been burned enough by companies like Nintendo to never again buy into systems that have closed ecosystems. If there are carts then we pick that over digital, and we only do digital if we can back it up.

I have pirated copies of all the games i have bought over my life because it's honestly bullshit that there are all these issues around software rights. If I am not asking the publishers to do more work then take my money and let m be able to pay the game I paid for.

Baldur's Gate 3 is great in that regard. DRM-free, cross-platform multiplayer, Steam integration, their own token system to connect players. And if everything fails you can still connect to each other via IP. And even if that fails you have local multiplayer.

Except on consoles, because Microsoft and Sony are big poopoo heads.
