side note: not your CDs, not your game.


Even the CDs these days will often refuse to play without an internet connection.


I'd put that more on the player trying to connect to Gracenote for metadata, cover art, and invasive tracking. CDExtra is dead and no OS will autoplay them so there isn't a way for redbook audio discs to execute code.


Umm, the topic is game CDs, not music.


I also like this phrase: If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing.


I agree but there’s no choice really. All the major game studios do these anti consumer things. And many of them are being bought by larger companies like Microsoft or Netease or whoever
