You can play your PS4 as well without physical media. What point are you trying to make?

No. You were saying everyone who waits for sales on stuff are assholes to companies. And the reason why Games are failing. Then I rebuttled do you buy everything else at full price, no questions asked. Being a knight in shining armor. So to not be the blame of other companies going under too. Why are these pratices bad for Gaming. But not in other areas.

Sony is the most open minded company and they are also developers of physical media while using the digital realm to gain secondary profits.

We talking main media (physical and digital ) not add on, if you talking about Amiibo, you clearly try to derailing the thread. Amiibo function is not to replacing physical nor digital, but it's funtion is to enhanced the experienced that already brought by the main media (Phisical or Digital ) on Wii U and 3DS.

Lol, what now?

Yes of course.

i know i do. 

OT - the article doesn't make sony pro or anti physical media to me.  litterally the only point is they allow smaller run sizes.  that makes sony sound pro small business which we kind of already know with their big focus on working with indie developers.

99% of the consumer also only buys liike 2-3 games a generation. It s the 1% that is the hardcore collector that spend $$$$ on games which are limited edition etc. and pay a 20%-50% premium just because it is. Without physical games you have cut out a big revenue sources that pays more.

Spot on, Steam sales too, although there is some money being made, the sales are too good, and often so regular buying has been hurt. Add to that the aggressive price competition in the PC digital space, it's no wonder games like GTA are released years later, or cheaply ported like Arkham knight.

I would probably buy around 50% less full price games (day 1 preorders mostly) if I couldn't sell them on when I've finished. Game publishers know this and actively encourage it. When you see "buy Fallout 4 for £10(or less, it's been £1 before) when you trade in Mad Max or Metal Gear solid 5 "it's almost definitely got backing from a publisher.

There was a really good article about it on Eurogamer, last year I think. It had an ex manager of GAME UK being interviewed.

In short, it's not as straightforward as it seems.

they buy them to play, and playing them when ever they want is a huge part of gaming. Which is not the case if these netwroks are down, shut down completley or if simple your internet stops working for a period of time.
