Digital game purchasing has become increasingly popular very quickly. Some have even come to question how much longer companies will continue to produce physical copies of games. With Next-Gen approaching there are some key reasons why going fully digital will still be a problem.
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and Bandung-based (Indonesia) indie games developer MassHive Media, are today very proud and thrilled to announce that their their potion-themed open-ended sim RPG “Potion Permit: Complete Edition”, is now digitally and physically available for PC (via Steam) and console (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
ScreenRant's Melissa Sarnowski writes, "The Hunter steps into a world full of blood, horror, and darkness in Bloodborne, but they also meet countless fascinating characters at the same time."
ScreenRant's Adam Blevins writes, "Cyberpunk 2077 is not afraid to put its players through some emotional pain with unexpected character deaths, but some hit harder than others."
Preach!
Nope, collectors edition are not going away!
It's like saying, "music will never go fully digital." Cd's haven't disappeared, but once the capacity is there, the majority of people will prefer the pros of having digital copies versus physical discs.
Good.
A future in which physical copies are still readily available is a future I will game in. Otherwise I just won't bother. I like the convenience of digital but I will never fully trust that I actually own games unless I have the physical copy.
