The material manifestation of digital copies of games

Victor, I find this rather useful progress. We eventually even for utilities online pay. Sense to go out and look for it in stores when you can get on your computer? There are people who collects CDs. I have a fetish to do for example don't want to. I scored a box of table games eight years ago, I don't know where to put them. Play them I still will not, and throw a pity. About getting brochures do not say anything, it's all the same at the exit of the subway to pay women handing out flyers of some of the furniture, and then to come home and keep these papers with the aim of collecting)
It's easier for me every 2 weeks to swing from a game for a couple of evenings to relax after work. And then delete and forget. And posters, brochures, boxes of disks which you in the end useful give? Only if aesthetic pleasure. Well, if the Internet is slow(or such generally is not), then a powerful argument to have the game on physical medium.

Useful Progres when you sell nothing? Well, well.

booklet this is the example I said.
Here already all depends on imagination of the publisher.
I wonder how much money they save on that you don't have to stamp discs for the electronic versions.

And fun there is really only aesthetic. I would be happy to buy the game disc, but it's a rare thing that catches game is available for purchase in a physical store, a few hours before release. And to be among the first want. And sometimes even necessary.

In General, we support the thoughts of Dr. Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer. The only thing that bothered me a lot is the availability of modern DRM and tie to a service like Steam, Uplay, Origin, etc., as does the rapidly growing trend of requiring a constant connection of singles to the Internet.

A long time ago, when I bought the disc and installed the game to him without any connections, and online checks, I knew that this physical copy is mine, and I always, at any time will be able to install the game from disk and play. Today, rentals (under contract) the game from Steam, no I do not warrant that the service will work forever and do not decide to withdraw or deny me access to it. In the end, with those works or temporary unavailability of the service, we have encountered all, and some (like Uplay) that well very often guilty. And so you come home after a hard day want to relax in a newly purchased the game honestly, and bummer, the service is, try tomorrow...

There are certainly digital distribution services like GOG that impressed me more, but the prices are in the same Steam is much more attractive, and in both cases I get only a digital copy, but the GOG without DRM, and pay as something not very desirable...

So today I am in purchasing and in General the presence of physical copies doesn't make any sense, given that the vast majority of requires link the game to ODA. service.

You buy a CD for what purpose? Order to install and start playing.
On the Internet you buy the right to download and install the same game. In both cases, you come to the same goal. You pay, they give you the content you play. What you do not like? Or let's say you accidentally broke the disc all play now will have a new to go to the store.

But I bought God knows when the second Gothic can install and run on any computer, in any deberah not dependent on the availability of Internet, the political situation in the world and sound serverov uncle Gabe.

bought God knows when
And you now buy a game on disc. You nobody will even install until you turn on the Internet, enter the key and server, uncle Gabe won't give you the nod to start. And Gothic your no different from the usual digital pirate, which I can if you want or need can download and throw on the stick. Or disc. And I will not be afraid of any situation in the world.

And at me here what situation:
Due to the fact that I had become a young pensioner (historically, not the point)
I decided to start record gameplay on the new Sonya.
Decided to debut with the game the order 1886
And in order not to lose time waiting for the disk, took a digital copy. But there was this occasion:
Don't know about you, but for me, the license disk has always been a subject that brings aesthetic pleasure. They (discs) it was always nice to put on the shelf. Yes, just to possess them. And some more, and printing was. I, for example, a poster with a map of liberty city.
And then the money is spent, and on the shelf there is nothing to put. It's a shame.

Once you record the game going, is on YouTube, you will have your channel with the gameplay. Instead of shelves playlists, you will enjoy the page and get aesthetic pleasure) and if the audience will appear, will be doubly enjoyable.

usually when people want something on the shelf they buy colechin Edison with a figure of a sweaty t-shirt and artbook.
in today's world the popularity of digital games is that they're not needed to get out of the forest.
if something in digital purchasing came in the mail it would be superfluous hemorrhoids with delivery. very hemoroidy hemorrhoids.
what can really be done is to send to the e-mail generated by the machine barcode with a protective figure. but again there is no need. only if the account and game hijacking and I in him the particular evidence not see.

in the rest of the digital distribution is the future and disk edition dying away because it is still linking to the Internet. of course I would be forgiving - I bought a CD, put it and play without registration and SMS.
