There are sharing systems in place with digital but they are still restricted. Its not a wholly free market where you can do whatever you want with your property like there is with physical media.

Its a question that is going to take HUGE focus over the next 10 years and not just In gaming. There is going to be a lot of discussion about what we own and what rights we have as consumers in an all digital market.

 


These are all good and fair points, but why does gaming companies have to make it so damn hard, where it seems every other media, books, tv, music exist digitally and physically with no issue.


Agreed. I personally hate the idea of getting rid of physical. There should always be the option of both.

I believe the reason the gaming industry is so much more agressive over it is budget. Making a modern HD games costs tens of millions of dollars and the industry is desperate to maximize profit of such a huge investment any way they can. If anything its an example of how game budgets need to be streamlined and how costs desperatly need to be brought down.


That and maybe not try to make every freaking game a AAA game, that would be like if hollywood was only trying to make summer blockbusters all year. Its insane that SE wanted 5 mil for TR when even at its peak it never sold that.
