okayy so we are now reaching a time where disc based games will soon be extinct and the world will become even lazier as you qill be able to purchase games exclusively as DLC, anyway is anyone looking forward to this day or genrally disliking the fact that very soon Disc Games will cease to exist?

my opinion is i will hate the day disc based turns to DLC for good. i am a huge disc based fan and i think having games/dvds/cds are superb, mainly because i can show them off on a shelf and sayy "look at all my games"

another reason is hacking, being one of the main markets out there, swtiching to purchasing games as DLC rather than Disc will be a hackers/scammers heaven. im sure individual companies will have there own little areas where you can purchase games and whats stopping a fake DLC retailer being set up, you get things like that on the internet now. i enjoy buying online but always feel that there is a certain risk when doing so, no doubt the risk will increase the sooner DLC Games become the next "must have"
 
Ah then I will cease to play games. I dont like DLC games and have never been a fan of playing any form of online games since its just not my thing and I dont like it.
I think if all games become DLC a large margine of profit will be lost to the gaming indistry because in a way I do think there are a good bit of people out there thet are like me and just dont play online games.
 
As long as you're not forced to play in online mode all of the time, I think downloading games is the way to go. Bits of data don't get scratched/lost/borrowed like CDs do.

They just get corrupted/lost/deleted instead. :jtc:
 
I don't feel that selling all games as DLC will be the way to go, but older games like PSX classic's and so on that are hard to get theese days are justified to be DLC.. or extra content.

I can see DLC being the norm of gaming in the future, but I don't think it will be the near future atleast. I guess we have to become more used to the whole DLC stuff before they stop using Disc's at all.

Either way, when the day comes I will accept it and embrace it. For now however I shall embrace my discs like they are my own children.

*pats discs*
