Otherwise the retailers would stop selling disks which would then be a huge loss for the publishers... --- End quote --- so you are saying a store.... is forcing game publishers to sell the digital web download versions for the same price... and how is that even possible/their business? stores dont have any pull or decision at all. they are the bitches. publishers dont even like game stores anymore because they lose more money off console used trade ins, then piracy. |

And because gamestop is ran by jews who don't bother paying back game devs after someone buys a used copy, not even a dollar or few cents. |

When they sell the games they have bought, they get money. |

thats why companies were in talks about forcing people to pay a fee to reactivate used games they put on their console. everyone thinks its a money whore thing. but the publishers dont get a penny from used trade ins, andits a lost sale for them. the solution is to just let game stores die. because digital downloading is pretty much better anyways. but then you have the classic old school-like gamer who bitches that he should be able to hold a physical owned copy of things he pays money for. BUT THEN 90% of that same guy's game library is all on steam. where he digitally downloaded everything and dosnt have a single disk. so hes caught himself in a lie. at the end of the day. game stores are old fashioned, and not good for business on many fronts. they arent even good for the consumers. |
