We'll see. I really do think that expectations have changed on PC so that, even with retail withering away, a certain share of the market won't bite until a game hits a very low price point, and it's always much better to get some money from them than no money at all. I think it's also part of why we're seeing digital distribution on consoles getting more competitive: both to be competitive with Steam, and because it's just good business generally. And also because the back catalogs are big enough that there are many older games which see virtually zero sales until they are marked down super cheap or put up for free on PS+ or something.
I'm way more concerned that the digital future holds a lot of shitty DRM practices.
