We're really gone as gamers when people are advocating to pay more for digital goods they can lose ownership faster to at any given rate compared to physical media lol
Seriously.

For console gaming a digital only future would be absolutely terrible since sony, microsoft and nintendo has a complete monopoly on where games is downloading from, a.k.a. their one and only stores. Even if you buy a digital code for a console game from somewhere like best buy or amazon, the actual game download is still going through either ps store, eshop, or microsoft store. Digital console gaming is nowhere near comparible to digital PC gaming since PC gamers at least have multiple options to get their digital games. (Or even sailing the seas is a option, lol).

Yet, somehow, someway, certain derptastic gamers actually WANT this kind of future to happen for console gaming. I.....just don't get it. Dudes genuinely believe "wowie, now that these companies no longer have to use money printing discs, the savings will be passed on to we gamers!! Sony, nintendo, and microsoft will now push for lower prices out the goodness of their hearts and our 59.99......no 69.99.......no 99.99 standard version game prices will totally go back down to those 39.99 dollar PS1 game days! Also they will totally have a digital game trade-in system where you can sell digital games back for credit!!"

*Sony, microsoft, and nintendo's face with that kind of control*

I am no purist or fanatic who believes you can only buy games in one way or the other, I am a part of the common sense group that wants multiple options to exist because if you give too much control to these companies they will rip you the fuck off faster than you can blink. Nintendo barely drops prices for their 1st party games now, the fuck dudes think will happen when there is only one single method to buy nintendo games lol.

*Nintendo also has a habit of creating artificial rarity with even their digital games by de-listing shit for no other logical reason besides fuck you*
