I don't mind being all digital on my PC (I've been all digital since 2010), but I do however dislike all digital on consoles and the idea that gaming needs to emulate Netflix with it's sub style of "renting" games.

Sure it was fine during the 80/90/20's to rent physical games, but renting digitally feels even lesser than what we did way back then, because today you pay and just get content revoked from you, but not on your terms and time, but on a company's time and terms, and that doesn't make for a fair trade, not with the prices per sub adding up with the amount we see today in multiple industries (movies, tv shows, gaming, music, artworks, all those subs add up over time.

My two major complaints I have with digital content is that the pricing hasn't really changed all that much, and we keep getting the same tired old excuses (X/Y is too expensive to make, thus we'll make excuses and foot you, the customer, our bill, instead of working out how to trim that fat), and topping it off with layers of DRM, which is the company telling you that not only do they want more money from you, but that they also do not trust you, but you have to trust them 100% of the way (which again is a totally unfair balance to have in any industry).

Like I said, I've been fine with digital, but I do wish those two issues would be done away with over time, because I feel like we'd benefit more on the consumer side if we weren't taken for wild rides where we pay more, and are trusted less, but also having content we paid for taken away.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
