OT I buy quite a few already, I have a 2TB on my xbox one now. If it was 20% cheaper, I'd buy everything digitally. |
ok i probably shouldn't say never.
I guess when it becomes like steam a service.
Atm i am against all digital because the only way to back things up is doing a full backup. I hate the fact you can't just add to your backup but need to do a full one each time. Also TBH i don't even know what would happen if my console died and I had to use the backup on another. Never researched it. Also with games getting bigger and bigger you will need more HDD space. ATM i do not uninstall games on consoles because most require patches. I have no idea what would happen to the game after the generation ended and I can't get the patches again, hence why I leave them.
In one sense I would prefer if consoles went back to carts. However using modern memory so it would be much bigger and smaller. ATM A 128GB flash drive retails for like $70 to consumers. I am sure they can get it down to $5 at wholsale next gen. I would allow potentially 80gbs for a game and the rest of the same so updates and save files. That way all the games content woudl be on that cart and you could insert it into any console. They could also have a 32bg and 64 gb variant for smaller games.
For PC I am very happy with Steam because i've had it across multiple console generations and I can play all my games still as long as I install steam on that PC. I can uninstlal and reinstlal knowing that the full content will always be there on steam unless they go bankrupt. However even then i reckon lots of players be fighting over it to buy it.
