| BasilZero said: I dont think a crash is gonna occur, or at least in extent to what happened in the 1980s. Its gonna be a cultural shift and change and digital is likely gonna be the format going forward. Regardless of what happens, I dont think it will or should affect anyone's future whether they will play games or not. Things change and they've always been changing. We went from tapes to cds and now digital/streaming. With one of the rumors saying the next nintendo system will be b/c with digital copies of games (I hope its b/c with both digital and physical myself personally) - it looks like everyone is heading towards a digital road. |
I use to have a satellite service years ago but cancelled it due to many shows going behind separate paywalls. I decided to just cancel it and I don't have any subscription services. I have never had Netflix, Amazon, or the channel pluses. I have never bought a digital movie. I've been purchasing DVD's and Blu-ray and Ultra HD 4k's as they come out since the 90's.
The above was purchased today to add to the Opera section of my library. If they ever stop making physical media, then I'll be done with this stuff as well. I currently have enough unwatched (still in plastic) media to keep me busy for at least 7 years. And with the stuff I have watched included, if I cycle through periodically I'm already set for a lifetime.
There will always be people willing to dish out the cash for physical and so a market will exist somewhere for peeps like me.
P.S. Streaming sucks
