I still like that physical discs can be played, maybe just in campaign mode, without network/subscription.

Browser based games will go to GaaS subscription or even "Insert $.25 to Continue" very quickly.

Definitely interesting technically-wise, but considering the implications, no thanks.

I still like churning butter by hand but I don't really expect the local hardware store to carry a wide selection of butter churns you know?

So go out to the woodshop and make your own! Churning your own butter in a store bought churn is mailing it in.
