| Azzanation said: I continue to hear people saying they would quit gaming if Physical ceased to exist. So, I am writing this thread to understand that mentality. Are these physical collectors playing games or just collecting? Why does a format of a game matter if it's the exact same game on screen? Why does owning something make any difference? My example would be, do they hate going to the movie theaters because they don't own the movie on physical? I dont understand this mentality. I buy physical all the time however I am not against the digital future as its benefits outweigh the negatives. Especially when you own thousands of games. |
I'm a collector but all games I collect are old, many I collect and own I've never played. I buy new games to experience them and as of yet this generation there are no 'collectable' games, that won't happen until next gen starts and beyond, just how it is for me. Games aren't collectable until they are readily unavailable, that make sense? Digital future oddly isn't that, it's there forever as long as the platform exists.
PC went pretty much digital like a decade ago, more even and those gamers didn't bat an eye. There are digital only games on console which has been the case for most smaller games for well over a decade too. So it's not like digital is some scourge on the gaming industry.
I think digital is fine but it needs some changes, cheaper pricing for one, lots of excuses for who consoles are more expensive which to me aren't logical or fair and in the end are just publisher greed.
Hmm, pie.
