Digital Distribution may kill gaming.

[BenKenobi88]

I'm all for digital distribution.

I get to sit at home, find a game I like, pay for it right away, start downloading, and before long it's ready to play.

I support the developer better this way, since I skip the retail costs, and it's much more convenient for me...no discs to lose.

I never understand people who think they need a DVD and a cardboard box to own a game. If it's a physical disc that makes you feel good, then burn a DVD with your digital distributed game on it...Steam allows you to burn as many DVDs as you want, allows you to install it on as many PCs as you want...what's the con?

Yes, internet speed is a negative, but that'll change within the next 10 years to be sure...more and more people will have high-speed internet...and the average gamer already has at least 1.5 Mbps internet I'm sure.

And it's a little thing...but I'm so glad the days are over of trying to find a DVD and putting it in the drive and waiting for it load, just to play a game. There are a few that still do it, and it's annoying. I can double click a game and start playing within 5 seconds compared to a minute of searching and loading...everything about digital distribution is convenient.

Steam and digital distribution is the future.
