I'm not surprised that this doesn't surprise anyone. So many fall victim to unethical practices from Gamestop, the worst I think being selling used re-shrink-wrapped games as New.
In other news, digital distribution to me makes sense i.e. Steam, and full downloads direct to console HD and the like, but it just isn't a large enough market share yet IMO. These games are humongous it's kind of pain to keep running out of disk space, at least as things stand currently.
- Ralith 15y agoI'm a bit confused. When is hard drive space a problem? With digital distribution, you can redownload at whim, and with discs, you can reinstall at (slightly less convenient) whim.
- rexf 15y agoAgreed, HD space on personal computer isn't the limiting factor. Slow broadband speed and download caps would limit your ability to download games over and over.
- kin 15y agoI mean on a console, not a personal computer. We're talking digital distribution of software onto game consoles, with Steam and PC, it's easy. But, with say PSN and Xbox Live, I'm not alone when I say that I have trouble managing space and dealing with download times. I'd rather buy a hard copy of the game.
