    It’s not that customers are stupid it’s that customers are ultimately at times powerless. Certain things are forced upon by monopolistic tendencies. I believe full well there are still millions of PC players who would love to have boxed disc releases. But no stores in major markets carry any. No major publisher produces them. It was just agreed upon across industry to cut it off. Now look, you want to play on PC it has to be digital.

    And I know people are going to say “but but but it’s about digital rights not discs “ and there is some truth to that. Until every major company agrees to do the same horrible thing. And you have no competition to go to. You either deal with it or stop buying into the hobby all together.

    And maybe if we all stoped buying new games … but we all know how unlikely any of that is to happen.
