Welcome to the future. Pretty soon, all of our physical media is going to be collecting dust while we weep for the days when we actually owned the things we play.

This is PC gaming, I remember a report saying 92% of game sales on PC were digital in 2013.  On consoles its not anywhere close to that, hell its not anywhere close to half of that.  PC gaming does not give insight on the future of physical media on consoles.

 

Oh, I know. I was speaking about physical media in general. I have a huge collection of DVD's that I bought between 1999-2005ish and yesterday, it dawned on me as my old DVD player is starting to break down, that all of our CD's, DVD's, BR's and games will be useless. If you don't manually convert your stuff into some sort of digital file, you're GOING to be screwed because there's going to be nothing to play any of them on in the future.

I may be in the minority, but that is pretty depressing to me.
