Which side are you on: Digital or Physical?

Anyway long tangent, still no wiser on what percentage of AAA console games are bought digitally vs physical. One thing physical has on digital, is gifting games. I'm quite sure Santa doesn't put a voucher under the tree for dad to enter his credit card details and download Jimmie's new game ;) Although perhaps I'm old fashioned and that's what parents do nowadays.

 

I hate to tell you, but for the past few years, I've been asking mates and family to gift me Steam credit vouchers, both physical and digital codes. That and I've got friends who gift me games via Steam, humble bundle (Basil even gifted me a game just a few hrs ago), GMG etc. As long as you haven't used the code, you can gift it to someone else.

In this day and age, gifting games digitally via codes or via the stores themselves has been made that much easier than a decade ago.

Argh, Christmas turned into a bunch of gift cards.
I was aware of Steam gifting, and ofcourse there's simple psn/xbla gift cards. Seems rather not fun though.

Digital is good. I like the convenience. Sure its great to see your big ass stack of games on a shelf, but sooner or later you realize you got a big ass stack of games on a shelf. Most of the time you never even play those games. I've had exes complain that I don't even play most of them and they would be right. In the end, it was just more stuff taking up more space that could have went to knick knacks and other random crap like my gaming books.

Did you complain to your exes that they don't wear most of the clothes they own ;)

Argh I'm really getting old
