Distribution of goods is something that every business constantly evaluates based on cost and effectiveness. In today’s connected world, a lot of traditional distribution has gone to the digital format, and video games are no exception. However one thing that separates games from other products is it’s consumer base. Gamer’s are some of the most passionate, and sometimes irrational group of customers on this planet, and understandably so. Unlike other forms of products, especially media, games create an investment of time, emotion, and interactivity that no other medium can touch. So the Gamer feels more connected to their product on a personal level than most non-gamers can understand.
Stay lean, make games with your heart, and steal from the best.
With the end of the Big Spring Sale and the lead-up to Easter, Amazon has axed the price of this stunning, high-performance Alienware display.
Workers at Sega of America, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., have became the first employees at a major North American video-game company to ratify a union contract, a move that may accelerate a burgeoning labor movement in an industry known for widespread instability among its work force.
The contract, ratified Tuesday, covers around 150 people across marketing and other departments at the division’s offices in Southern California. Workers will receive minimum yearly pay increases of 4% in 2024, 3% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026 as well as a number of other benefits, Catalina Brennan-Gatica, a representative for the Communications Workers of America, said in an interview.

Worst thing that will happen is it will have a lower stock price and ceos won't get extra millions they don't really need. Other than that the company will continue on and ppl will be treated better.
This is AWESOME - Sega seems to be progressive in their new ways - big props to Sega !!!
The PC has shown the world that Digital Distribution works and I love it!
All my games are safely on my Hard drive and all my games belong TO ME!!
i can make hard copies if I want and if Valve is overrun by Combine forces I can still play my games!!
If my HDD is stolen or blows up I can re-download them all for Free!
I don't feel the need to have a bunch of plastic boxes sitting on a shelf collecting dust!
Large download sizes don't bother me cause i would never have a IP provider who has bandwidth caps (that's just stupid) and I download while i'm sleep or away from my house!
Wasn't there something with STEAM not too long ago where if you did not accept some new EULA or something you were locked from your games?
