If only physical copies of games were available in stores, I would buy them!

Reason why I gave up on mainstream PC gaming after the early 2010s - it's insulting to think I should pay full price for an empty box with a BS download code in it. Even worse with Hitman in 2016 when they released online episodically instead of the promised full disc version. Reason why I switched back to console recently (PS5 disc) and purchase only full games.

The death of physical means the death of gaming in many African regions. This is culture. Nobody likes downloading out here. Physical its easy to resell or exchange

Without idea of "public domain" people will always be forced to pirate here and there while publisher will try to push us from those "dusty old games" to new, with agenda and micro transactions. And in the end they gonna win. So many games now are staying in "platfrom prison", i dont want to imagine what gonna happen when there be no game copy on client side to begin with.

This debate ties more with how other digital products are shifting from "goods" to "services". Before you could own microsoft office, now you have to pay a yearly fee. And it gets more and more exploitatice as games sometimes are made to consume your time to avoid refunds and stimulate microtransactions (looking at you GTA:Online)

I was at a Best Buy in Milpitas CA. And I could see this switch already in effect, there were 4 or 5 physical copies for Xbox there and COD Vanguard was one of them.

"is the shift just the evolution of the gaming world, or are we sacrificing something epic for the sake of convinience" damn okay i need to take deep session on that one😂, and yeah i do miss my ps2 days with hundreds upon CDs that i bought, borrowed, and don't ask how i managed to get sims 7 sins while i was 13 or sum. i just realized, only 4k? i thought u guys had like hundreds or more. keep it up

@Sharky_0456 4 месяца назад

im pretty much all digital now physical is nice for the novely especially with collectors editions but besides that its just kind of anoying especially as a switch player as the cases just waste a ton of space compared to the size of the chip so you just have a bunch of oversized empty cases lying around

I don't understand this really I played on PC for a very long time and I've never needed to own a physical copy of a game and for older games I don't buy it I just pirate You games aren't gonna be lost for ever piracy exist and will forever exist

Lol this seems like a personal issue. Keep supporting these companies this is what u get.. rockstar ftw

@Sharky_0456 4 месяца назад

what so just never play videogames? pretty shit opinion ngl if rockstar adopted this method would you seriously drop gta like yesterdays news? i feel like your only saying this now because you have a choice but if such a choice didnt exist in the future i dont think you would be that willing to just give up on games
