Physical vs digital is another funny thing. If you like physical good for you but digital is definetely better because it pollutes less and you can't lose/break your games. They are forever attached to your account and you can download them 1 or a 1000 times. Oh and also they are MUCH MORE CHEAPER specially on Steam summer or christmas sales hehe.

Sorry for my english

Yeah that's more or less how I see it. Years ago I used to prefer physical and hated digital but now times are different and I actually prefer digital despite me still having a CD drive installed in each rig I've built, HDD's are pretty damn cheap these days and SSD's are getting cheaper with time for some brands which just benefits the digital area for me, that and being cheaper. That said I still buy physical games when it comes to 3DS and a bit of digital since cartridges don't really scratch the way DVD's do.

Also your english was totally fine btw =D.

For gamers to prefer physical games is not about how cheap hdd or sdd's are but to actualy OWN the product they buy and not just buy a liscense.

Am I alone on the thought that PC gamers should be thankful that consoles exist so many many games wouldn't even exist without the console market to back the industry up? I mean, with the high piracy rates still existing and the fact that a good portion always wait for a sale to get their games, PC gaming alone couldn't afford the huge expensive AAA games of today's standards. Without consoles, those standards would be very low.

I feel you are right in that you are alone on such a thought because without PC's at all we wouldn't even have games, let alone the advancements PC gaming brough along with it and still does to this day, the titles that also stem from the platform that wouldn't exist without PC gamers and PC centric devs. I feel we should all be thankful for a platform that creates and gives us games than a brand.

Who's saying anything about owning PC's? Anyone can own a potent PC these days and don't even play games. I'm talking bout making games for consumers. If there's no profit in it, due to piracy or the price asked for a game is considered high by PC gamers, then games wouldn't be the way we know them. Im not  trying to say PC is weaker than consoles, from a business standpoint it surely is far more riskier though. Oh and no shitt devs make games on pcs, really thanks for the input, i surely didn't know that.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

I understand what you mean.

if i am not mistaken didnt battlefront sell like 4% on pc and 96% on consoles?

 

The console's ARE the biggest software industry for videogames publishers earn the MOST money on a console.

 

Ofcourse its not always 100%  but mostly hell yea.

You don't own what's on the disk at the end of the day and you cannot change a read only disk at that, the ability to sell is something that doesn't really exist with POC gaming these days and hardly existed much back then due to how serial keys work with the platform and still do to this day. I have ownership of my games from my clients anyway that can be played offline and I also purchase fully digital DRM free games as well. At the end of the day physical is not the end all to be all.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Except you are trying to say PC is weaker than consoles, you claim high piracy, you claim we are cheapskates and that we never fund anything, that we bring in less money on everything with the way you talk about the platform, no matter how much you try to even the field (because you will do that), you will always put your box ahead of a platform that makes everyone's games and the people who try to advance the platform.

No need to act so sarcastic by the way.

I find it more riskier with consoles due to visual integrity and control schemes and of course blowing the budgets as well.

And you think this for 99.5% of every game out there?, are you going to go with ye old MMO's and Mobas?

Seriously thought this wasn't going to turn into a VS thread, how wrong I was.
