@fantasyfacade And the market will decide that, not a sentiment of think of how many jobs will be lost. My reply was not a rebuke of your stance but of your defense for not doing it. If there was no market for a digital only system the Ouya wouldn't have been funded to the tune of $8.5 million on Kickstarter. Protectionism of a failing business model at the expense of progress or efficiency is counter intuitive to the needs and wants of the consumer. For example spending billions of tax payer dollars to build an electric car that is three times the cost of a petrol based car and randomly catches fire, that no one was asking for in the first place, is not in the best interest of the consumer. No matter how many jobs may have been "Saved or Created".
@SamuraiSeven I haven't seen a manual in years. Beyond that little two page epilepsy warning that they pack in every game. I've been robbed twice lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars in physical media. With digital all I have to do to reclaim all my stuff is type in my password and re-download, I love it. In regards to all the extra bells and whistles of a collectors edition, just look at the Kickstarter business model to see that kind of thing won't end even in an all digital world.
@fantasyfacade Yes, while we are at it let us stop this automobile fad so that the farriers and buggy makers can recoup their loses. But why stop there lets outlaw e-mail so that the postal carriers can increase their revenues as well. We could also put a ban on orbital industries to give cable tv and land line phones an even playing field. Face it, when something better suited for survival comes along the Dinosaurs die.
I'm with sortajan. I have given up large portions of my life to these games as well as the Bethesda Fallouts and have learned the valuable lesson of waiting for the GOTY editions and letting the community fix the problems. I have much more fun playing through without the hangs and crashes of the launch day product. Doesn't change the fact that they are amazing games and worthy of the GOTY title but they are greatly flawed at release. Something the fans have come to understand and accept so long as the developer continues to support the MOD community.
