| SvennoJ said: Neither does yours. Does every game get a remaster each generation, far from it. Not all movies do either. Plus that outdated technology still provides the best quality, most extras, and most sound/subtitle/version options for watching movies. I can't download a 40GB game, neither can I download the 15 disc extended cut special edittion Lotr box set. |
Of course not everything gets a remaster. We live in capitalism, so it only makes sense to make remakes and remasters of things that will probably be profitable. If a game is popular, it will be available in the future. If it's Ride to Hell, it will not, and the existing discs will be ground into plastic pellets.
How does outdated technology provide the best quality? If you're talking about games in particular, the downloadable and disc versions are completely the same, they are both digital. If you're talking about my examples, surely it's better to watch a downloaded Citizen Kane than to watch it on a 70 year old film reel.
Why can't you download a 40GB game? I download them all the time, and have had no problems ever.
Naturally, you cannot download a disc-set, because it's a disc-set. Maybe in the future they will make it possible for you to download and 3D print the discs, but surely that's gotta be expensive.
And why are online games a different matter? They are still games. or are we now just picking the games to fit our little perception of ownership? Those games were made, sold at $60, owned and played from disc. Good luck playing your Titanfall on X360 or APB on PS3 in 10 years...
As I said, I really don't mind people using discs, I actually support their decision 100%, but them going around making up excuses (mostly to comfort themselves as they are afraid of progress and changes) and belittling digital is ludicrous.
