They still make CDs, believe it or not, and whenever there's a new album that comes out that I want, I'll get it on CD. And I view all my movies on Blu-ray. And I still buy paper & ink books. I do not own an mp3 player, I do not have a Netflix account, and I do not have an e-book machine. Hell, I don't even have a smartphone, but rather I have a dinky little $30 Nokia that I got from Wal-mart, and the only reason I have that is for emergencies and need-to-make calls. I fucking hate smartphones and telephones in general. But what I hate even more is the idea of spending a non-trivial sum of money on a digital file that I don't even own. |
Hint: You don't own your physical media either. Ever read your EULA?
No one is coming to take away your digital content, period, just like how they aren't taking away your ability to play the discs (which they can, per the EULA).
It's fine that you like physical, but don't completely discount digital. Steam alone has shown that digital is very much a viable option. People said that Steam was evil for taking away physical content on PC, now 97% of PC sales are digital and revenue has never been higher.
