No shit. In the case of physical, you’re talking about the manufacturing of plastic and use of machines to imprint the discs and then all of the driving done to ship the discs. And then eventually that plastic will end up in a landfill somewhere.
The study isn’t calling for you to stop buying physical so much as it’s trying to encourage gamers and lawmakers to embrace the second hand markets more, but that’s not really an option for a lot of games nowadays that are just download codes. |
In the case of digital, you're talking about building and maintaining always on data centers to provide you that download anywhere, anytime. It all requires power and water for cooling, and eventually all those server racks end up in a landfill somewhere :p
But yeah agreed, second hand market was much better for everyone. Hence this commercial completely misses the mark
Bring me back to then. I miss browsing through the pre-owned sections, come back home with gems or buy new games at discounts for bringing old games back in. Digital games I don't want to keep are worthless. |
WTF? That is one of the worst ads I have ever seen in my life. This ad belongs in 2012 when XB1 was threatening to force always online crap. And it really shows that MS has learned absolutely nothing in that time.
