Regaurding the poll question. I have been Physical only for almost a decade now, due to the versatility of the format, and my travel. However, I would love to go back to physical. The ultimate thing would be if the games industry took a page from the film industry, and started packing a Digital copy in with physical copies. Highly doubt they ever go that direction, but I would love to see it happen.
Another option would be DRM built into Physical Media, and having in place a system like Microsoft was talking with XBO. Basically you lock your physical copy to (1) device, and then you are allowed to download the game to internal memeory on up to 5 devices. As long as the physical copy is teathered to your account, you have access to it and the digital file sitting on your other devices. Once you sell the physical game, or give it to someone else, then you loose access to the digital file.
Hope you get what I mean. I understand that the 2nd option would mean authentication, but it would be worth it to me, to bring value back to Physical.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
