Forums - PC Discussion - 92% of all game sales on PC are digital

Just take a look at Ubisoft sales breakdown for example and you ll understand PC sales are, anecdotic at best. Digtal or not.

That seems a bit low.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

if you're trying to imply the console market is bigger than PC's you are dead wrong :

 



The future is clear. Digital is the way forward.

Probably a very accurate number. I have about 115 games on Steam, and only 1 game on a physical disc (Starcraft II).
So in my case, it's actually 99% digital :)


lol, 118 games on  Steam and two retail copies of SCII

So in my case, it's 98,333% digital :)



I pick up a lot of PC games from sales and humble bundles. I've certainly enjoyed Steam, even if it's not 100% perfect, and I've also been able to enjoy a large amount of different games.

However, I'm concerned about pricing and what not moving more towards digital. I wasn't a fan of seeing $60 PC games, especially if digital distribution is supposed to be cheaper than retail stores, and I'm generally waiting for sales anyhow instead of buying at launch, but I feel more concerned about console games going digital and those prices. I rented The Last of Us for PS3 a few weeks back to play some of it again and from the main menu, there were links to purchase the Uncharted Series digitally and Uncharted 1, 2 and 3 were each marked at $30!

Heck, I purchased a used copy of Uncharted 3 for $8 this past spring. If this is to be the future of game sales, then no thanks. I'll stick with Steam and continue to purchase and play more games than I'd ever get with a console.



I actually haven't bought any phyisical PC game in 5+ years!!!!!

And the last games I bought were Free ones from the Windows App store from Windows 8 - and I unistalled all of them LOL.
