My question about this is how does this prop up PC gaming? I just dont understand it at all. PC gamers are playing the same exact games we're playing (and we're playing more anticipated exclusives depending on the console and if you own three consoles thats just without question). We actually own our games and are dealt with by a unified brand.

I have a ton of PC games that will never make it to console (in addition to the ones that have). I also own all of my PC games, Steam or disc. Until something happens where I lose everything, that's a silly statement to make.

Owning PC exclusives is not my issue, I am talking about generally anticipated exclusives. PC games are licensed, you're locked into a code, which means you're granted the right to play. If you owned your disc you could trade it. You were granted the right to play your games. If consoles follow that route, true ownership is out the window.

Not really, just tighter monitoring. I can lend my PC game to a buddy of mine, so long as he keeps the code. It's an incovenience of sorts, sure, but not a deal breaker.

Rights when things go digital go up in the air. Its like itunes in a way. You are granted the right to use it on five computers but you dont own the product. PC gaming rights are protected by Valve. As long as they stand your gaming is intact. If they fall apart god help everyone who is dependent on PC gaming. When you buy Blu Ray movies, you own the disc, but they license you a digital copy. Music is heavily licensed if you buy digital.
