It's not like digital automatically means anti-consumer practices. The danger is less the format and more the people in charge being greedy idiots.

Yes, but the thing is the people in charge are the people in charge and they control the strings, while they have no sway over whether or not my cartridge continues to work. The perfect world wouldn't have people in charge of the digital distribution system, but that's not going to happen.

Yeah, but that doesn't put Digital as being lesser by default. The format is fine, it's the people who are not. The people are the core and only issue here, not the format itself, like there is no spinning around the fact that the format itself isn't sentient, but the people who have said power to muck around with said format do, ergo, it's only the people that pose the problem, not the format.
Like any time we see a game ripped from a store, it's primarily down to contract expiry, which is, you guessed it, a people issue, someone basically making up a rule, that either requires more money up front, or they pull said product, which again, is a people issue (greed) and not the format itself. I will always blame the person who made said contract or made a bad decision to pull said game or deny refunds, not the format.
I'm just really, really tired of a bygone era combing back, shambling along, trying to assert that the way forward is still somehow worse off (it really isn't, because like it or not, plastic is finite and we're supposed to be using less of it).
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
