No more broken cases or scratched discs, even in the rare occurance that a file gets corrupted you can simply re-download that game.


Quite weird "pro" point when you talked about iTunes which doesn't allow multiple downloads.

And I like how you think it's better for nature. Do you know how much power is necessary for servers, big clouds, etc.? Check what electricity a single keystroke on google.com needs and what the consequences are for the environment (cooling the server centers, etc.). You could argue that we go all green now with power through wind and sun. But we do not even know yet what negative things wind power may cause.

A lot of "cons" have already been mentioned. The biggest for me is actually that you just get a license to use something while owning a disc or cartridge has some sort of real value although it's no difference. But a big difference for my brain lol

Huh? The only negative impact to the environment wind power has is it takes up a lot of space, but tbh a lot of that space (at least here in Britain) would otherwise just be built on anyway, so ultimately a wind farm is better than a housing estate.

 

As for the OP... There is currently no way for me to sell a DLed copy of a game, which for me is a big con, if it turns out a game isn't worth keeping then I want some money back.
