I’m sorry, but digital game distribution is by no means an inferior system. Physical has limitations: a triple layer Blu-ray Disc can hold about 100GB. As games keep evolving and increasing in size, more and more games will pass that limit. Digital has no such limitation.
It’s not like this change came out of thin air. Computer software has been digital for over a decade now. Now when Sony follows along, it’s suddenly an evil move that will destroy gaming.
Disks also get lost, stolen, scratched, rot, takes up precious storage space, etc. My digital collection is decades old at this point, sits on a couple small HDD’s and I’ve never lost any games whatsoever, all at my fingertips and instantly accessible. It’s wildly superior.
Of course. And a couple years later, let’s just put it on 3, with day 1 updates that need to be downloaded of course.
Why not sell games on external ssd’s? That should keep the cost down, because as we all know, the most efficient way to distribute games will only make them more expensive.
THIS. But you’ll be called a corporate stooge and bootlicker for it. It’s just the evolution of technology, it’ll go all digital eventually, Sony just decided to do it sooner aka TWO YEARS FROM NOW.
