Codemasters founder and industry veteran David Darling feels physical media is a lost cause 
KwaleeKwalee is a brand new start up developer and publisher of smartphone apps based in Leamington Spa, England. "It was interesting how the market did pull back with Microsoft," he says. "I don't think Microsoft sold it in the right way - they weren't strong enough. I don't think they should have had a physical drive on Xbox One - it's like having a dead body handcuffed to you. It's dragging along this dead body and it's going to slow them down. They've let the market pull them back but I think that was a mistake." |
Pretty much what I thought. MS should have gone all in with digital rather than go in half arsed. They would be alienating the physical media fans either way, but at least with ditching it all together they couldn't be accused of being DRM jerks.
