Yea PC prices are a lot better than console but they still leave you with a "dead games" after you completed them with zero value.

As for console 3 games at £49.99 =£150, I could probably buy 25 games with reselling physical copies before I've actually spent £150, This is the biggest reason I'd be against full on digital.



For me they aren't really dead, any game I 100% I sort on Steam into a "completed" catagory to which I can always look back on and play, I bought Red Alert 3 across all 3 platforms and to this day since 2008 I've been playing it on PC now and then rather than selling it and forgetting it forever or buying it second hand a few times, I would rather own it forever and never have to re-sell it only to buy it back again since that doesn't make logical sense to me. On PC there is no reselling your games anyway, that market more or less died off years ago so we can't really compared the two in such a way when it exists within one market but not the other, digital gaming however exists within both.



Yea I understand what your saying with games like that. Stuff like that generally has a lot of replay value I have no problem with paying high price for digitally sicne I'd play it plently over many years Iv'e bought games such as Diablo III and all 3 campaigns of Starcraft 2 as I know they will offer many years of gaming on and off also got Gears of War Ultimate (was £5 more than physical) as I knew it would be my go-to games for the next year or so which gives it some good value. When it comes to short singleplayer campaigns with very poor replay value for £44.99+ thats when full digital completely fails imo.
