Hmmmmmm... Does something digital really count as intangible?

In business and economics digital goods are certainly categorized as “intangible goods, but what about in a broader sense?

Surely our ability to interact with a game as a specific object would separate it from such intangibles as love or fear or depression. The game can be said to have a physical location, with hard drive being no different from any disk or cartridge held in the palm. But as a platter is no feast a hard drive is no game. Just as without sound there can be no music, without a console there can be no game. The game, in a manner of thinking, could be said to only exist once fired up and birthed into the world, truly existing only at the speed of light as electrical potentials in transistors and light emitting diodes, as ephemeral as the electrical potentials of our own neurons. As we trade our digital currency for our digital goods to provide our mind with whatever fleeting sustenance and cursory joy there may be, we are either further disconnected from reality or closer to it than we’ll ever know.

This is what happens when I don’t have work and open up a bottle on wine on a weekday.

And it’s getting patched today (Tuesday), enabling The Smoking Tire’s car pack DLC and, hopefully, fixing the awful goddamn stuttering problem.

I’m very happy with this game. Very worth it for $30 for game + VIP.

I’m keen, but it might be another hour or so becuase I had to reload it onto my laptop which is actually much newer than my desktop. Pity they couldn’t make FH3 DX11 compatible as well as DX12.

They don’t make it DX11 compatible because then they can’t sell you Windows 10. Microsoft has never been able to do PC gaming right.

To be fair, to be fair - Windows 10 is actually pretty good. I mean, it’s not 7, but 7 is old as he’ll at this point.
