I reckon the guy's almost spot on - although I reckon it'll be nearer 75% rather than 90%.
I bought the digital version of Sins of a Solar Empire cos it ain't on sale in the UK yet, it doesn't bother me that I don't own the disc.
You only have to look at the sucess of Steam on the PC to see there is a significant future for online distribution of games and that people are willing to forgo the disc.
I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.
Platforms owned – PC, DS, X-Box 360, PS3, PSP and Wii.
