I don’t like subscribing to nonphysical things. I can read a physical paper a month after it arrived. Digital is faster, but I tend to lose it before I have read it.

I need a recipient in my pocket. Too often my virtual thing is lost, my device fails, or things reboot and I don’t have my secure 24 digit password with me.

I won’t subscribe to a digital only anything. Physical and digital is nice.

Edit: They don’t even have to be identical. A digital daily with a monthly print would be nice.

    I am mostly the same, but I also enjoy video games and movies and shit… Which only need to be digital. I can always put them on physical media myself if I have need. But I never buy shit for the games in the game, like I ain’t spending $20 real money to have my character in a fursuit. That shit is stupid, especially when I’m coming from the golden age of online gaming where you could just upload that shit yourself and everyone would see it.

    I also won’t pay for an always online game anymore. Back when the servers were run by players, it didn’t matter much because the game could never truly die. But with the servers being entirely controlled by the dev/publisher, I am not willing to pay for a game that they can just shut off and make unplayable at any point.

      I also love to play old games. (My NES works.)

      I too have been burned by games that must have a server.
