the day cloud gaming becomes the norm is the day i will quit. I like having my consoles and physical copies of games taking up so much space in my house lol.

You and me both.

That and the fact that I'm not going to allow myself to be reliant on the 'goodwill' of a company to keep something I like alive for an indefinite period of time.

Add me to the list. No way I'm trusting a company that could go under or otherwise mess with my games, to hell with that. I want to actually OWN my games, not just access to them, which could be taken away at any moment. Not to mention the waste of internet...

This is a reason I also agree with. I hate this gen as it relies on updates and patches to get a lot of the games working. Tell me how I will get these updates in 10 years time if I ever want to relive some of these games with my kids (when they arrive lol). Oh sorry son we can't play skyrim cause the patches are no longer available.  For this reason alone I think this is why retro gaming is going up in price. Mianly cause you can plug and play and not rely on bloody updates for a game to function.

Completely agree. I miss the days when games were actually FINISHED on release instead of treating consumers like a giant mass of unpaid bug testers, and we didn't have to rely on short-lived online support.
