Disks where are you?

PC drive there. Shake over your library of 300 games because at any moment any one of you can outlaw or on any grounds and you will forfeit all of their games. At the whim of the people is very far from you. And no one even did not lift a finger. It's all spelled out in persons. agreements.
On consoles almost the same, but you can still install the game from disk and play even in the distant forest house. Almost because right now, at the time of release may be unplayable even demos. Not to mention the AAA projects that patcat years (Skyrim, F4, Witcher 3, etc.).

The ultimate way to download the game, patches, DLC, pack and burn to disc. It is a cover and the appropriate cover on the box.
Works with all consoles 5-7 generations. For <5 generations, you can buy a flash cartridge and to score his whole library to a console.

This eternal struggle has no end.

I'm 100% pirate play ALL the games that come out and 99% of the games recorded on discs. used to write on CD discs then began to write on a DVD then DVD Dl now have shifted to a dual layer blue ray. as the volume of games is growing and growing. I have 2 closets Packed with blanks. And I believe that pigs are alive. I have spent more than a hundred discs the dvd recording of the animated series the Simpsons.

I meant the license. Pirate in my city enough.

We have special shops such as George, Gamma and Portal. They all sell a license to drive, also there you can make pre-orders of the discs and the box with these healthy gift editions, like figurines, etc.

I have never in my life for 32 years have not seen live license disk.

peck drives a thing of the past because for quite some time there is a system for providing a cloud game.
many developers have moved to the dissemination in such form and physical distribution, they do not exist.
already there were annoying cloud activation that by and large puts a logical pitch of the cross on the physical carriers if pokerista slow intyrnet voschem.
intyrnet overall became available and, on average, faster. although of course in pcaad times slower than multilayer 51гибубновый of burachik and good drive.
and finally it's own profitability. a greedy Baker trying to buy games at a discount while in the store she more pitch fixed price.
that's how it was I once and kneading bread near the physical pitch of the edition gta5. there have been a ton of DVD discs huge box and it cost more than 3 Grand. and on sale it is at this point well there where 1500-TA. so stood and peck thought - technically, that I must buy this game because of such games I usually pitch buy. do not pull the comp to ultramixer with the stock - and this is not a problem I usually take drives in use and more productive pitch.
so I stood the bread kneading and actually thought of the game is still tied to the tyrneta. the use of cardboard and plastic little. having sex with rocktar Gamez club because I need to update Windows for it. playing it on the same day but only with the crisis in the following year on the strength of 3000 with TA putinova cheaper game while lying in any case faster than the rate of inflation. Yes-na-peaceaa I need it. and went from there.
and that is quite a realistic example to explain almost all of the causes. and in developed countries it has long been so. bakers are not too willing to buy the physical disks.

To take a picture?)

A good example, but hell, copy your text into word and check the spelling... it Hurts to read :(

Refused drives probably 6 years ago , on the shelves and the other stuff to put

The only game that almost entirely on the drives is the Witcher 3.I installed it,a couple of patches and play.Now the rest of the projects are partially on the disc,partly from the Internet

Fly your hard and where will the game take?

so now the disk is nowhere,and if there are,they are expensive,more than the incentive,and who needs the box with seven discs?

Back from steam will deflate the current rate is not a problem.

You won't believe, but the drives eventually become useless. Library the incentive is much more reliable because at any time, from anywhere to establish with 100% certainty, ease and play, and obviously will last longer than the disk, which in 10-15 years will simply become worthless because of the time (Yes, getting old is not only living beings but also objects).

drives can be long longer. maybe 10-15 years, this guarantees a service life but in reality it can be much more. for example, I can easily play DVDs roughly 18 years ago and a lot of overwritten blanks 15 years ago. even hard drives in fact have a lower reliability.
but such places like steam, so it's guaranteed to kept the game for over 15 years and best up to 30 years, in a sense, is another question. and the first CD drives just can played within such period, if stored properly. maybe they have of course the quality of production eventually fell cheaper and they sail slowly and under the action of cosmic rays from space and radiacii.

Idiot. Disk this Convention. Under the disk means any memory device which can be used at any time to receive the data. Beyond the distant server, your Internet service provider and desires left heel of a politician.

Library steame nichrome is not reliable. What if tomorrow the war. Here's sanctions ban all rossiyaninom for life. And suddenly the cleaning lady in a server somewhere in Los Angeles accidentally upset a bucket of water on patability HDD with all the data accounts of residents in the South Asian region (conditional, just in case if the data of your records will disappear from all backups). And fuck you then someone will prove that buying LEFTFOOTED at the winter sale for 299 re. All this crap spelled out in the agreement, the checkbox that you set mechanically.

Here's to you and me from the Steam user agreement:

Obligations of the Valve are governed by the applicable laws and regulations, and Valve is obligated to act in accordance with the requirements of the authorities, the judiciary and other power requirements, even if it is contrary to the provisions of the agreement.

NEITHER VALVE NOR ITS AFFILIATES DO NOT GUARANTEE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, VIRUS-FREE AND SAFE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE, AS WELL AS UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, FREE FROM VIRUSES AND SAFE ACCESS TO THE STEAM SERVICE, YOUR ACCOUNT AND/OR SUBSCRIPTION (SUBSCRIPTION) OR ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICE STEAM.

Don't know about you, but I like a creepy paranoid and just people forced to live in Russia, I can already imagine a kind of digital utopia. And so we are, compared to even 2005ым year (PS2), totally fenced virtual region-lokas hung DLC with other teksturki, paid demos, paid mods, subscriptions, hundreds of patches to sell instead of endless remaster, a re texture, remakes and enlargerment edisoni.
