| Machiavellian said: Did it occur to you that AAA games already sell on PSN and 360??? If they areadly sell and they are not making the money as retail why would a publisher risk their buisness. Why would a publisher throw all their egss into something and risk upsetting their retail agreements. It doesn't make sense. If a publisher would do something like that, you would be bitching that they are trying to take away your game ownership. |
There's a reason they don't sell very well at present. How many people are seriously going to opt to pay the same price for a digital copy that they are stuck with forever as a physical copy that they can actually own and sell if they don't like it? Not too fucking many.
The question isn't why would publishers put all their eggs into the digital basket. That's a false choice. The question is, if they want people to buy digitally because used games are so detrimental, why don't they try to make the proposition of buying digitally more appealing?
