Wouldn't people just download these 30-40GB games on their computers instead, where infrastructure such as Steam already exists? Who would buy a $500 motion control TV remote, which is what the Xbox One would be reduced to in his scenario... I guess he'd prefer if the console industry died out and soon, just in time for the release of his own mobile game. |
Precisely, this is a man speaking in a very biased way as he seeks to justify his exit from the traditional boxed game market
Even with Steam on PC, there are still physical games, but they do rely on an activation code, giving you the best of both worlds. They do, however, avoid the massive downloads that are still problematic. They probably won't be an issue in 2-3 years in most places, but they are for 90% of people now and will still be an issue for a good percentage of people throughout this whole generation
