I have the same photo library in Google Photos and in a bunch of hard drives inside my apartment. This is not a workflow I recommend to normal people. This is hoarder infrastructure.
\nI do it because I don’t trust “access” the same way I trust “I have the file right here”. If you’ve ever moved countries, changed ecosystems, or watched one tech company eat another one, you know the difference matters. Convenience is nice. Ownership is nicer.
\nAnd yet the whole industry spent the last decade trying to convince us those are basically the same thing. They are not. That whole “you’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy” line was supposed to sound futuristic. Instead it became product strategy.
\nI am, objectively, the ideal customer for physical media.
\nI like shelves. I like cartridges. I like hard drives. I like knowing that if a company wakes up on some random Tuesday and decides to kill a service, merge a platform, rename a plan, or add AI to something that used to just work, my stuff is still my stuff.
\nThis doesn’t mean I’m living in a bunker made of GameCube discs. I use Google Photos. I pay for Spotify. I stream movies. I live in the real world. But I don’t confuse convenience with control.
\nSo yes, all my photos are in Google Photos. And yes, all my photos are also stored locally. Because when a company says “don’t worry, it’s in the cloud”, what I hear is “future Pablo, this is your problem now.” (Also: future Pablo, link the degoogling post here when you finally write it.)
\nConcord was such a disaster it almost looped back into being interesting.
\nSony launched it, it bombed, refunded everyone, and then removed the digital version from players’ accounts. Depending on how you experienced it, the install either disappeared from the console or turned into a dead icon you couldn’t do anything with. Same result. A thing people had “bought” stopped existing the moment Sony decided the experiment was over.
\nYes, people got the money back. No, that is not the point.
\nThe point is that Sony showed, with zero subtlety, what a digital purchase actually is. Not ownership. Permission. Temporary, revocable, account-bound permission.
\nNow compare that with P.T.. Konami pulled it from the PlayStation Store after the Kojima breakup, which already sucked, but if you had downloaded it before that, it stayed on your console. People held on to those PS4s like they were carrying cursed treasure. That was bad enough already. Concord managed to make it worse.
\nThe old version of digital was “you can’t buy it anymore”. The new version is “you can’t even keep the useless dead file you already had”. Amazing progress.
\nGamers are not even the first victims here. Anime fans got a speedrun version of the same thing when Funimation got folded into Crunchyroll.
\nPeople had digital copies tied to Funimation that simply did not make the trip. Not “please wait while we migrate your library”. Not “we’re sorting out licensing details”. Just gone. Crunchyroll’s own support page says those digital copies are not available there anymore.
\nBack in the DVD days, this problem did not exist. You bought the disc, threw away the plastic wrap, put it on a shelf, and that was the end of the negotiation. The publisher could disappear, get acquired, or explode in a corporate merger and your movie would still be sitting there, ready to go.
\nThat is what ownership looks like. Boring. Reliable. Beautiful.
\nGame Pass and PS Plus are the kind of deal that sounds amazing until you stop looking at the monthly price and start looking at the years.
\nLet’s say you pay around $200 a year for a premium game subscription. In ten years, that is $2,000. And what do you have at the end of it? A receipt history and some fond memories, I guess.
\nYou do not have a shelf of games. You do not have something you can resell. You do not have the specific 2026 version of that game before three balance patches and two monetization experiments turned it into something else. The second you stop paying, the whole library evaporates.
\nPeople hear this and say “yeah but I don’t replay games”. Fair. Until the service gets worse.
\nBecause that is the real checkmate here. The trap is not that you personally need to own every movie or every game forever. The trap is that once enough people stop owning things, companies get to make the service worse and you have nowhere good to go. More ads, higher prices, smaller catalog, worse support, more lock-in. The usual enshittification arc.
\nIf you want a stupidly specific example, look at the 3DS. Pokemon Shuffle was a real Nintendo game on a real Nintendo handheld and now, legally, it may as well be smoke for anyone who didn’t grab it in time. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition was free and still managed to become unobtainable. Free. Gone. Nintendo somehow found a way to make zero euros expire.
\nNintendo used to be the company of “blow on the cartridge and try again.” Very physical. Very stupid. Very honest.
\nNow we get stuff like Super Mario 3D All-Stars being sold with artificial scarcity so the second-hand price climbs to around €130 for no good reason beyond Nintendo deciding FOMO should have a retail box. I already wrote about how this kind of pricing logic works in the collectibles world here. It is annoying there too, but at least nobody pretends it is pro-consumer.
\nThen came the Switch 2 game-key cards. Nintendo’s own support page literally says the card does not contain the full game data. It is the key that lets you download the actual game.
\nSo now even when you buy the thing in a store, take the box home, and insert the card in the console, you may still be buying a permission slip. Physical-looking DRM. A cartridge cosplay.
\nNintendo says you only need the internet the first time, which is better than always-online garbage, sure. But the preservation problem is still right there. If the real game lives on a server first, that physical product has an expiration date hiding inside it.
\nCartridges used to be the whole point. Now sometimes they’re just a receipt with extra steps.
\nI miss when phones had features that actually lived inside the phone.
\nMy old Nokia had Wi-Fi and could do some smart things, but most of the time it was just a solid little brick that worked offline and minded its own business. Now every launch event is full of magical features that depend on some cloud service quietly doing the real work somewhere else.
\nThat means the feature is not really part of the device. It is part of a service attached to the device.
\nThe day the company kills that service, moves it behind a subscription tier, or decides only the new model deserves it, your very fancy hardware suddenly forgets how to do the thing from the commercial. Congrats on the purchase. You bought a screen for a server.
\nI am not telling you to cancel every subscription, throw your phone in a canal, and live off ripped DVDs and local MP3s like it’s 2007. I still make compromises. Everybody does.
\nBut I do think a few rules still make sense:
\nAlso, physical media is not just better for preservation. It is often better for your wallet. You can buy a used game, finish it, and sell it to the next guy. Try doing that with a PSN license.
\nPart 2 is going deeper into software subscriptions specifically, because that rabbit hole gets even dumber. Fitness apps, Adobe, “AI features”, apps charging monthly fees to write text into SQLite, all the usual modern nonsense. I already touched that nerve a bit in my Musclog post about nutrition tracking and scammy fitness app subscriptions, but I have more to say.
\nFor now, that’s the whole rant: cloud stuff is convenient, subscriptions are sometimes unavoidable, and ownership still matters. Especially when the companies telling you it doesn’t are the exact ones with a financial incentive to make sure you never really keep anything again.
\nSee you in part 2.
