All digital future happens when most have Google Fiber.

When we're talking 95%, we're talking mainstream gamers and the average consumer. I don't identify with those people in anyway and consider myself a part of the vast minority. I totally agree that it's going to happen but I'm personally never going to do it. It's just not something I can enjoy. 

Paying money for entertainment that is both controlled by a corporation and dependant on the internet (streaming) is not going to happen for this guy.

Thats cause you can buy your own dvds and blurays. Not all countries have cheap online services o the internet speed to stream this stuff.

I don't get that at all. Whether is digital or not is completely arbitrary. It has no baring at all on your game experience. I get the feeling of ownership. I don't get how that feeling accounts for 75% of anyone's enjoyment of consumable media. Like, would you stop listening to music if record lable stopped making CD's? Would you stop watching movies if Bluerays and DVD stopped existing? Would you stop reading if nothing was ever written down on paper again? Probably not. You'd probably suck it up and get on with it because a cool as collecting is, no one is just going to forever sit in a room by themselves, cross-armed, just staring at and replaying collections of old indefinitely while the rest of the world moves on and continues to consume new and innovative media.

Unless you genuinely don't like video games, I find it very hard to believe that you would be done with games all together over something so frivolous. And since you've made an account on a website like this and since you collect video games, I highly doubt you don't like video games.

Is Google Fiber that good?

Edit: Well not dead to me, I'd just stick to retro gaming.

I don't understand why anyone would prefer a digital game over a physical one. When you purchase the game, you don't actually own a copy of the game. The only thing that you do own is the license to DOWNLOAD the game. You cant lend it to a friend or sell it to a store or another person (Hence, you don't actually own it).

Sony allows you to share all of your digital purchases with one of your friends for free. That is the only reason why I purchased one video game digitally. Gaming will die when there isn't a physical gaming system or games to purchase at a store.

It is

OT: I think people underestimate the speed on the technology and how soon this can be implemented on a broader scale, sure 3rd world countries like mine (I hate that term but lets stick with it) will get fuck in the face, but if companies still make profit they won't care. I can see this happening in maybe 7-8 years, maybe less time if Google Fiber becomes mainstream sooner.

It might not be what people actually want but the market of people with an internet connection is far bigger than those with a console.

Is it costly? I might switch.
