Gamers resist digital-only future: majority still want physical disks and choice

Windows Central's poll (1,577 votes) finds 71% will miss physical games as PlayStation/Xbox move toward digital-only, with 13% in favor of digital-only. Readers cite concerns about ownership, game preservation, and rising digital storefront costs, and many advocate hybrid options (external disc drives, disc-to-digital ideas, multiple SKUs) to preserve consumer choice and access to purchases rather than a full digital takeover.

Dundon Bets Zero Dollars, Tests Portland Arena Financing

Defector’s Chris Thompson argues that Portland Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon is leveraging public financing for a $573 million arena upgrade while putting zero of his own money on the line, portraying him as extractive and unconcerned with Portland as he pressures the city to fund renovations, downplays private investment, and even undermines team personnel—signaling a broader shift in NBA ownership dynamics that could pressure relocation if cities don’t bend to ownership demands.

Moon Deeds: Four Decades of Unenforceable Property Claims

Moon Deeds: Four Decades of Unenforceable Property Claims

Dennis Hope began selling Lunar Embassy deeds in 1980, claiming ownership of the Moon and other celestial bodies for about $20–$30 per acre and reporting over 2.5 million parcels sold to a celebrity-filled clientele. However, international law, notably the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, bans national appropriation and, by consensus, private ownership of celestial bodies, rendering these deeds unenforceable. The 1979 Moon Agreement is not widely ratified and adds little to the legal picture. Buyers receive novelty certificates, drawn by psychology of ownership and storytelling rather than enforceable title. Hope’s business persists as a curiosity while real space rights trend toward resource extraction frameworks under national laws, not ownership of the bodies themselves.

SF Night With the Valkyries: Fun Over Franchise Drama

During a sunlit San Francisco night at the Golden State Valkyries’ arena, the writer playfully disses the Chicago Sky as a 'clown organization' while noting Sky veteran signings and the expansion teams’ draft-day moves, contrasts the Valkyries’ smart, steady management with questions about ownership depth, and ends with a lighthearted, fan‑focused take on a game that feels more enjoyable than the off‑court drama suggests.

Cronin Defends Dundon, Says Blazers Will Spend Big When It Counts

Portland GM Joe Cronin defended owner Tom Dundon against cheapness criticism, saying Dundon is willing to spend big when it matters and noting the team discussed costly moves at the trade deadline, including potentially triggering the luxury tax. Cronin stressed that reports of a tight head-coach budget are misleading and that compensation will scale with the coach’s experience and risk. Tiago Splitter called the surrounding chatter exaggerated. Cronin admitted a miscommunication led to excluding two-way players from playoff road trips, later correcting by adding them for Game 5, and the Blazers plan a broad, flexible coaching search with a focus on efficiency and prudent spending.

Trail Blazers owner under fire for playoff cost-cutting moves

New Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon is facing criticism for reportedly penny-pinching during the NBA playoffs, including leaving two-way players at home for the first two games in San Antonio and pursuing ultra-cheap coaching, amid other cost-cutting measures such as early hotel check-outs and reduced fan giveaways, even as Portland lost Game 1 to the Spurs.
