Congrats to MS for finally buying activision blizzard. And congrats on A-B. I hope their stakeholders enjoy diving in a pool filled with dollars, scrooge mcduck style.
Target announced something similar not long ago. They're not entirely doing away with physical media, but most stores will be, and I suspect it's only a matter of time before all eliminate it.
I'm really not a fan of that idea. Outside of games, I don't buy as much physical media as I used to, but I still like owning my favorite movies so I can watch them when I choose as opposed to hunting down what streaming service has them.
Its sad but I'm part of the problem. I started my digital movie collection back in 2020 and never looked back. I started buying digital Switch games so that my children and I can play the same game on two different Switches.
I finished Village which after the shaky start, was great. Seemed to be overtly influenced or even referrencing a number of non-RE games, not unlike 7; but also like 7 it managed to, for the most part, make them into its own. As great as 7 and 8 have been, due to them being less original than RE has been traditionally, I do wonder if they'll stick in the mind as well as previous great REs have.
I tried Foraza Motorsport, but it doesn't seem to work properly with a PS4 controller. I'll try with a wheel lately out of curiosity, but apparently it's difficult to get that working as well. And if I'm playing with a wheel, there are lots of other racing games I'd rather play.
Oh, and the car upgrading system seems monumentally stupid.
I think seven and eight will be viewed favorably in years to come. I think the RE8 DLC, Shadows of Rose, could have been that one final punch to really establish these chapters as something really special, but it was fumbled to be generous. It certainly didn't hurt 7 or 8, but it was absolutely skippable and at least in my mind didn't add anything to the story.
I’m just glad that this whole Microsoft Activision/Blizzard/King acquisition thing is finally over.

That really sucks to hear. Best Buy and Walmart are where I buy most of my movies and games on physical format.
Should stock up on anime now.
