PushStartSelect: "There a ton of rumors going around that the next generation consoles will be digital only and of course retailers like Gamestop will be on their way out the door. While a theory like this is common, it’s more or less similar to a scare tactic. You know, like a scary story that you believe as a kid, but in reality it can never happen. A “what if” scenario that got a bit out of hand. It’s nothing more, nothing less."
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
we all know this
360 and PS3 currently support full retail downloads. The Vita also has them and the 3DS has been announced to get them in the future. The Wii U will also support full retail downloads.
It seems like we're transitioning already.
It will be quite a while. With each passing generation of consoles, game sizes will continue to grow, yet download speeds stay roughly the same. Some places can't even get good download speeds if they can get the internet at all. It will be more than a decade before we see the full transition of digital download only.
Let's cross our fingers in hopes of either google, or the gubment stretching high speed internet across the entire country sometime relatively soon.
Well like it or not Developers/Publishers want Digital Downloads
Larger profit margins
More protection of IP (Onlive model)
Greener (No cases, Manuals and distribution/shipping)

Google makes almost all their money from Google Ads through Google Search
In maybe 30 years time, but currently there are so many problems with going fully digital.
I think the thing that puts me off most about digital copies of games is the possibility of my hardware crashing, meaning I would have to spend literally hours downloading them again.
Not to mention that I just like to have a physical copy of the games I've bought!
