I support digital. Mainly because Steam is the best service for gamers out there and used games sales do nothing but hurt devs and there are a massive amount of cheapskates out there that will wait for the game to be $20 or less at gamestop before buying.


I know this is an old post, but can I just say how much I agree with Marie Antoinette here?

I'm so sick of people saying they can't afford to drop $500 on a new console and $60-$70 for each game (even more if they're European!). What are they, poor? Can't they just get free money from the Bank of Dad like the rest of us do? imo, if you have to wait for discounts or buy things second-hand, you're not a good enough person to play video games. Go play ball in a cup like a Mexican.

People not paying full launch price for everything - which is totally a new thing and certainly hasn't been around for the entire history of gaming - are literally killing the industry. The gaming industry makes barely any profits at all; it's dying just so that it can have a business model where peasants can afford to play. That's wrong.
