The Digital Future We Deserve with Only Ourselves to Blame | Game-Rave TV Ep. 201 

Completely agree - which is why the Pokemon cards segment was tossed in and the MacFarlane toys story shared.

god send a book man make book digital . god send punish. simple is that. game book same. if god was cleaver it send a download version of book or like many claims it send update. a human think god is stupid you dont need to own holy book. you just read on screen if you want. god send punsihment to play game to human. end

Spread it around! =)

So for the heck of it, decided to test a theory. I turned on ads to see if it's gets pushed harder than normal. I usually don't run ads.

It does force the hand of a potential 2nd hand market for licensing keys though. Something the industry thought about years back but never went anywhere with it. Half the games in my Steam library would be easily disposable even at a $1 each as I don't play any of them or got them free in a bundle.

Indeed - the road forward isn't perfect, but we at least know where to start looking.

one day steam will out or steam stop sell games or windows version not supoort steam. am player on turkey recently steam stop selling our money and make game dollars and not make even console prices like sales on recent sales. ı have pc games around 300 and ea was only company make pc dvd games until 2021 end. supporting steam supporting sony pc games without blu ray when they own the blu ray is left alone crime. supporting valve is crime they not even make games anymore. all the gpus of pc and shiny flat pc cases is become junk when steam or net conenticon gone. it will gone. gabe newell is not immortal. they see the success of steam deck they can even turn a console company. they are like netfilix. not more. they also not cover all pc games. even xbox become staring cover more than pc games now. pc games since 3 years not even work on expensive gpus. 3 years is not past paling junk steam games. you cant relly emulation on pc forever. every windows new version need work to old emulators work. its not work auto forever and emulation need net connection they dont give games to you and that games can gone on net one day if companyies become more hunger. they remove games like kotor trailers everywhere.

Variants! 1 of each variant release, with a bonus Lunar 2 signed by Victor Ireland himself! You can see the WD chaos here: game-rave.com/?p=1141 And I’m big on the discount digital too. :)

@@GameRaveTV That makes sense. Lunar: Silver Star Story on the PS1 was the first game I bought at full price. I saw a magazine ad that said it was going away forever so I found a new, beat-up, last-remaining copy at a store and bought it.

Oh, I still enjoy the physical game as well, I'm simply pointing out that maybe everyone doesn't need to freak out about the digital future. It also doesn't really matter with current physical games since they're almost just half the code, or just an access key. I think if companies went digital, and then once their game reached end-of-life, THEN print the physical version with all content and patches, it would make more sense.

Right? After this video was published, it occurred to me that the answer for the future is digital releases first - let it get its profit margins and all patches out, and once the game has its last patch, then press a limited run of physicals for the true die-hard fans. That way everyone gets to play, and then those who want the physical copy can snag it at the end for a GH price printing.
