Simple question, since when have you been all digital on PC?

The last boxed PC game I've bought was Deus EX: HR. Which is also the last time I've bought an AAA PC game at release. Nowadays I wait for Steam sales instead. Deus EX: HR was just a disc inside an empty box, disappointing. Before that I bought The witcher 2 which had all kinds of goodies in the boxed version.

I still buy boxed PC games. The last newest one is the Elders Scrolls Anthology set. Installing is still faster than downloading from scratch. Also, owning is more important than a file to me. Except any game that has Games For Windows Live and Uplay. I never touch those. The oldest game I recently bought was Terminal Velocity.

Spore.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

When I was a kid I remember buying these huge Diablo II and Starcraft I/Broodwars packs that I thought were awesome back in the day. After that I found Steam :)
