| BaldrSkies said: I'd like to ask something. How do you guys feel about digital only releases of full retail games? I've seen some complaints when EU, for example, gets a digital only release while US gets physical release. I'm talking about worldwide (more like West-wide), or region specific digital releases though. Would you like it if a game like say, Legend of Heroes, or God Eater, were to be released digitally only? Do you prefer physical? And would that opinion change if digital were the only viable option from a business standpoint due to costs of logistics for physical products? Would you accept something like that? By the way, I'm not confirming or denying any specific games being localized, the games I mentioned were just an example. I'm NOT hinting at anything. I'm just looking for some extra opinions to keep in mind when going forward. |
WHO DO YOU WORK FOR DAMMIT!? You're such an enigma...
To offer my input: I much prefer getting physical copies of games. However, if the options are "digital only" or "don't get the game at all" then obviously, I'd much rather get the chance to play it than not having the chance at all. I put up with it for stuff like Atelier, it's just a pain since memory cards feel so small when you're fitting 4GB games on a 32GB card.
The only caveat I'd add is that I'm less likely to buy something Day 1 if it's digital only than if it's physical.
