Physical vs Digital

The only games I’ve ever bought digitally are smaller indie titles, never anything full priced. Having physical copies of games isn’t just a nostalgia thing, it’s just better all the way around in the long run. It’s just like Playstation to charge less for the digital-only console to encourage people to go that route. The sad thing is I’m thinking that a lot of consumers are going to go for that marketing play because they just think that the idea is “cool”, or because the price is more appealing. There are a lot of young naive gamers out there nowadays and the industry knows it all too well. This generation of gamers has been groomed buy these major companies over the past few years to just accept their crooked business practices and take whatever crumbs these companies feel generous enough to doll out. Going digital-only will mean that these companies will ultimately control and own everything – they will be in 100% control of our gaming experience at all times. If they feel like randomly inputting ads at any given moment during our private offline gaming experience, they could do it. If, for whatever reason, they feel like suddenly  reclaiming ‘our’ gaming purchase at any given point after we’ve spent [$70!!!!!!] bucks on it, and not refund our money they could do it. If they decide to make it mandatory that we agree to some insane or weird terms of service before we can even start playing a video game and if we refuse we can’t play it, they could do it! This crap has already gone beyond absurd.
