If you'd like some stats on this, check out @dringo.bsky.social 's post from last September, which includes: "According to Circana, 18 – 24-year-olds only accounted for 3% of video game hardware purchases in the year ending July 2025, which is down from 10% for the same period ending July 2022."

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

Prior to the launch of the PS4, less than 10% of PlayStation full game sales were digital. In the last quarter, 85% of full game sales were digital. This move guarantees the PS6 will ship without a disc drive and Sony is embracing an all digital future. (I'm surprised Xbox wasn't first)

A lot of people (accurately) point out that premium video games are cheaper today than they were 30 years ago thanks to inflation, but discussed less often is how much bigger the margins are for game companies now that sales are 80-90% (soon to be 100%) digital. No more retail or packaging costs!

'Our infrastructure was designed for a climate that no longer exists': France's unfinished reckoning with increasing heatwaves
In 2003, an unprecedented heatwave struck France in the middle of August while the government was on vacation. It killed 15,000 people. While this public health shock transformed the alert system and the management of heat-related illnesses, France has failed to learn any lessons regarding its necessary adaptation to climate change.
