Yeah, but why not? I enjoy having access to the game within the same 10 minutes I buy it...
Now downloading, that's a different story.
How many modern 3d games are there that fit on a reasonable amount of disks? Don't you usually have to download shit either way?
When was the last time you bought a game on some physical storage and did not have to download etc. things anyway?
OK, but you can sell the disc after using it or share it with friends...
That is the big ticket. We need to be able to sell digital items.
I also enjoy having access to the game as soon as I buy it, that's why I download. Having to order and wait for shipment or going to the store takes considerably more time.
