The problem isn't physical media, the problem is company being legally allowed to keep the copyright of a movie/show/game if they decide to delete it There should be a law saying that any movie/show/game a company choose to delete from their library and not have anything to do with it anymore, will automatically fall in the public domain, so we don't loose a small part of our culture...
Should but won’t happen. Corporations have the money to lobby, or to at least slow down unfavorable legislation. Corporations with money get the laws that favor them, passed.
The product of these companies is no longer making content. The product is to increase shareholder value. Those 2 things used to align, today it doesn't. Congress needs to step in and close some of these tax loopholes that seemingly incentivize not releasing products. The whole system is dysfunctional.
You will own nothing and be happy,this is what it looks like for gaming.or they want you to subscribe to a monthly service to constantly extract money from you
Means people need to buy them The market moved to digital This wasnt just companies decision. It was the consumers. They aree pulling money out of physical since it isnt profitable. So honestly this responsibility relies on the consumer if physical media is to survive
@@aliquidgaming1068 Physical media is still profitable. The companies are shifting because it means they retain control over the content more and claim more of the sale price. It means they can force the costs up of games, and force people to have to rebuy games, remove their licenses, etc etc.
Corporations don't want physical media because it's harder for them to track and control usage. Physical media puts the product under more consumer control. We still need physical media.
It likely wouldn’t matter. The next person to take over would likely take a similar path. All signs point to WB trying to get in a position for another merger or purchase.
Tell that to Scooby Doo Hanna-Barbera was bought buy Turner Broadcasting and Tuner Broadcasting was bought by Warner Bros. They still make Scooby Doo content to this day.
Open Source and Public Domain are the keys to unlocking a whole new generation of media, if not, multiple generations of medias for people to go about consuming media healthily and trusting one another to always make something that can keep us together even under darker times. But it will also mean undoing the wrongs of today and remembering history so we can remember to undo any more repetitions of bad history when the time comes that we have to resolve it with our own technologies.
What's hilarious is there probably doing all of this because they recognize they're not making enough money but this is simultaneously what is preventing them from making more money
piracy is the ONLY safe way for digital consumption. It not only gives you access to media you otherwise wouldn't have access to, it also often provides higher quality. A game packaged with intrusive DRM and anticheat software that break the game, or get the pirated one without that stuff and enjoy the same game with no drawbacks.
Focus on buying physical media and show companies and digital services that we don't want digital media. We need to show them that they're not in control, we are.
Agreed he is responsible for canceling every movie that was announced and then cancelled and the fans are pissed that they need to saved those movies like scoob haunted holiday batgirl Batman beyond and coyote vs acme
They were the ones who started the push off physical media because they thought it would protect every sale but now they realize they are missing out on entire sales altogether. Pathetic! 🤣🤣🤣
Wb gaming has been a joke for years. With one bright spot in the Harry Potter game last year.. they’ve shown they only care about shareholders and their bottom line and do not care about the wants and needs of the average gamer, the people who actually give them their money!
@@mtt3000 Doesn't really make any sense because digital means that server farms are required to be on 24/7. The discs themselves also last for like 100 years if maintained properly and can be recycling (along with the box). You also clearly don't know what waste means, because games wouldn't be waste.
@@mtt3000 Oh jog on with your hippy save the world crap. In the grand scheme of things physical media leaves barely any impact on the world in terms of waste. Stop defending tyrannical book burning companies.
The only reason we want physical is because there is no save alternative. Hopefully there will be laws created about this that protect consumer rights of owning digital
can't you still directly run the game through file explorer? you have the files and game saved to your hard drive storage. you don't have to launch it from the Steam client (library page on the steam client).
Seems like the makers of this video should have done the work to determine if publishers can remove purchased games from your Steam library. You're a major games media website. Contact Steam and ask them what their policy is. It's literally your job. Why shrug your shoulders and say "if this one indie game dev is right." Can't you do the journalistic work of finding out what's happened in similar cases on Steam in the past and tell us?
Typically if you bought the game from steam, you can still redownload the game. New people just would not be able to purchase it. But if you are on console. What ever you downloaded is the only thing that remains
That video's Thumbnail where is Samurai Jack is really awesome. I've never watched Samurai Jack even not in my Childhood, is it worth it to watch and which Platform is better for Samurai Jack's Game a ps4 or a pc? 😮😊
To be fair here, it's not just WB doing this....Sony did this a few weeks back but worse as it was way more games and Best Buy announced months back that soon they won't be selling physical media(movies, tv shows etc) anymore...

No the issue is no physical media
The problem actually IS physical media going away, I'm sorry but you are wrong
No. If you own something on Physical media nobody can take it away from you because you own it. You can watch the content when every you want.
you are right, the problem isnt physical media. its the solution XD
Physical Media is most definitely needed..
Agree with you!
We like physical media.
We need physical media, today.

Exactly
you misspelled torrents
Hear, hear!
Agreed.
more physical media
less DRM crap in every game like Denuvo
how about that?
This is what physical media buyers been trying to tell people
Exactly. Now theyre biting their tongues for it. You dont hear them making fun of physical media buyers or collectors anymore
Oh well people are willing to give up more than you realize for "convenience".
WB needs to give Zaslav the boot. Nobody wants anything he’s dishing out.
Great video IGN. Really enjoyed it and further solidifies why physical media is so important.

Means people need to buy them

Also if you purchased through stream, steam will keep your purchases in your library even if others like sony will delete them
Corporations don't want physical media because it's harder for them to track and control usage. Physical media puts the product under more consumer control. We still need physical media.
David Zazlav should be fired for ruining WB and canceling Movies, Shows, and even Games too

*Ownership* matters.
Be it physical media or DRM-Free digital.
DRM free digital? The moment it's digital you've lost control of the media.

This video needs to be shared and not people need to be taking more about this
Physical media 4 lyfe!!
Supporters of physical media have been warning people of this for years now already.
Sadly my friend the general consumer market has moved on from physical media. 😕. No one cares.
A key with no car goes nowhere
Physical media is always the way to go...
"Merger" is just a nice way of saying your ip is probably dead
Tell that to Scooby Doo Hanna-Barbera was bought buy Turner Broadcasting and Tuner Broadcasting was bought by Warner Bros. They still make Scooby Doo content to this day.
THE SHAREHOLDERS! THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDERS!!!
And not a single mention of GOG, as usual. No one can take your downloaded installers away there, same as with physical media.
GOG?
@@bigheavyshoeGood old games, it's a website of old games you can download

Great video! Well researched, supported and edited. We wanna see more from this journalist (and her team).

No music? Lame....
If only people could download these

Piracy: guess you've wondered where i've been
Let’s get Physical!
Listen up youngins. Its upto yall to buy and demand physical.
Of course it's better to have physical media.

Physical media and always will be better then digital, all digital has is convenience
Waste is never better than non waste. That includes the entire energy process that goes into making a single disc. Then making that disc en mass.
@@mtt3000Digital creates waste too as servers need to be maintained in order to do so. Server hard drives inevitably fail creating waste anyways.

In an age where the shows/movies/games you love can be taken away without warning, the only correct response is piracy.
At the end of the video yeah it's true if you really like something better you buy it on physical media.
Where did these games would get hard delisted? Removed from our libraries?
The only reason we want physical is because there is no save alternative. Hopefully there will be laws created about this that protect consumer rights of owning digital
Limited Run Games is holding it down boys!
Limited Run Games isn't the solution because of the "Limited Run" part. It's a nice band aid to have but not a solution.
Physical media needs a new format that is more fast and easily available to buy and physical media needs to be on PC
It's called blu-ray, we don't need a new format.
They need Mini SSD
Physical media is needed…. To resell after finishing a game in a week 😂
can't you still directly run the game through file explorer? you have the files and game saved to your hard drive storage. you don't have to launch it from the Steam client (library page on the steam client).
How many Warner Bros. execs does it take to transfer ownership or a light bulb? Ssd
All those digital only systems are absolute waste. Its not just WB, this' a wake-up call.
I'm now 💯% behind Physical Media 💥
Welcome aboard.
Won’t be removed from steam libraries
Damn these guys
Control! Control! Control! Money! Money! Money!
If buying isnt owning...
Nice. Agreed.

Just got a new UHD player, coincidentally.
So does this mean Samurai jack will be removed from my library ?.

@@snoozley853tell that to people who uninstalled PT
WB is killing itself…
Physical Media will always matter.
It does matter
See, that's because we need piracy. It's a way of preserve games, movies, tv series, etc from nosense like this.
Content need to become public domain if not used for 10 years.
And they’re right, if the internet goes down then you’re left bored AF
After Nintendo ended Yuzu, my physical copies doubled in price. Coincidence? xD
One of the reasons Christopher Nolan left WB was because of this. Having physical media is important.
At least, Japan still releases animes on physical media.
Impressive video. More of this reporting and opinion.
Fire David Zaslav
This is sad
But think of the stock price and how rich the shareholders are getting!!!
Digital online is a death sentence for entertainment content.
Piracy will always be king and better than your precious physical media
We need physical media ❤❤
Kim Horcher! Wow it's been awhile.
Looks like Zaslav is ruining games as well

You are in for a great time if you watch this series in order.
Get the PC port of samurai jack game.
Why the hell is no one mentioning GOG???
Damm right

At least you’re still right about some things, IGN
Preach! 🙌
Cough pirate it cough
Any one thats an OG ign fan can anyone tell me wtf happened Naomi???
She was the best
What sbout deaths gambit
It's on gog right now.
It’s nice when they rerelease older shows and movies in box sets/collections for cheaper than the single film/season sets.
The way games are being released with 0 day patches, physical media doesn't matter.
David Zaslav must’ve act like he’s on our side after not doing any justice with the DC brand
Physical Forever!
Zaslav will go down in the history books as one of the worst things to happen to the entertainment industry.
Yarrrrr!
Never trust these companies trust your own work
