My kid who is barely 10, has openly expressed her fear of digital only. She loves getting physical movies, music and games. So, you should probably edit that statement to someting like "if you have unintelligent kids, they will laugh their ass off" because anyone witn any with common sense knows that an all streaming/digital world is horiffic for the consumer. 

The more power companies can take from us, the better it will be for them and the worse it will be for us. 


Straight up bullshit, seriously. This has nothing to do with intelligence, you just have twisted it in a way which paints people with different subjective opinion as unintelligent while putting your own child to a pedestal. And for many people it is not even an opinion of "digital is good" but "digital will happen" whether you like it or not. I personally believe the usage of physical discs will be considered "pre-historic" in my lifetime (if I can live a normal life). You should also understand that not everyone weights their life with consumerism, for them there are other things far more important. That does not make them unintelligent but from that perspective, you could not act intelligent, could you?

Having more control as a consumer is not a matter of opinion. It is a fact that people have more control when they own a physical game vs. subscribing to a streaming service where by said game is never owned. Fact, not opinion. Now, you can argue that you personally do not CARE about forgoing that control for various reasons, that's fine. But you can not argue that you are, in fact, giving up control to the corporation that provides the service to you.

It's pretty basic, low hanging fruit stuff.
