Omniscientless 06/12/24 10:35:34 AM #34:	I spend far more money on physical releases, and almost always prefer to get a physical release when available. I still buy digital for Steam/GOG for a ton of indie games (or games that I'd rather play on PC because mouse feels more intuitive than controller), but the amount I spend is comparatively very low. I'm generally a very patient and slow gamer, so I never really buy games on release day. For preorders, I don't really mind the delay. I also like placing an order for pick-up in a store that is decently far out and biking there. Kinda feels like getting rewarded for the workout. --- Surskit <cite>Omniscientless posted [p:980813446] in Around wha...

junk_funk 06/12/24 1:23:24 PM #36:	Just on principle, the whole even without having to manufacture/ship a disc or game case were still going to charge the same price attitude that companies have is very lame. And you cant sell it back. A digital game is one of the few things you can purchase that loses 100% of its value right after you click purchase. If I do purchase online it is never a game at full price and I will wait years if I must for a price drop before buying it. I am a pro at Gamestop and will continue to buy and trade back games for honestly very good discounts as long as the company continues to stay afloat. That said I know my battle is futile. Online only games and download only games will give Gamestop the Blockbuster treatment soon enough. But for now, around 20% of my games are digital. --- Give 'em hell Ukraine. <cite>junk_funk posted [p:980815862] in Around wha...
