Why are people so upset about losing physical media?

Hot take, why are people taking this so seriously? Like, I get the value of collecting something tangible but we live in a world where quick dopamine bursts and moving from one interesting thing to another is mainstream. Gone are the days where we keep playing a single game over multiple years. We complete single player games within 1 week to 1 month. After which, we move onto the next shiny thing. Live service games pump out new content with a 3-4 week cycle. This trend is everywhere, even beyond gaming. And for all of this, digital purchases makes things cheaper and efficient.

We had the GTA VI and now Sony news and both received backlash for reasons I can’t quite understand. For me, I can’t even remember the last time I went back and reinstalled a game I played a while ago. It’s always one new thing after another and keep the excitement moving.

Remember that out of context quote from the Ubisoft guy? He said that subscriptions will become mainstream when players become comfortable not owning games. I think that time is almost here. Most people don’t give a shit about owning. It’s have good fun for a period and then find the next fun.

Need feedback on my setup for trading /MNQ.

I am a complete beginner to futures. After paper trading for a few days and some tips from ChatGPT, I decided on a strategy which is listed below. Although I had success on the first two days, it might just be beginner’s luck since my first option trade was also amazing. Anyways, I would still like to get some feedback from the community in case it needs any tuning.

Long:
- EMA 9 crosses EMA 21 and goes up on 3m chart and price is above VWAP -> indication
- Next candle closes above EMA 9 on 1m chart -> confirmation

Short:
- EMA 9 crosses EMA 21 and goes down on 3m chart and price is below VWAP -> indication
- Next candle must be red and closes below EMA 9 on the 1 min chart -> confirmation

Targets:
- Profit: min +20, max +50
- Stop loss: -50

Time:
- First hour of market open (except first 5 min)
- Last 30 min before market close

My trade preference is generally long over short.

Anyways, that’s it. Let me know your thoughts.
