>like owning and collecting physical games
>mainly PC gamer
>PC games are all digital and even if they have a physical release it's just a piece of paper with a steam code inside the box
Why is this allowed
>buy physical copy
>it arrives
>open it up
>slip of paper with a steam code on it
i'm sad that games don't come on floppy disks and have code wheels for copy protection anymore

ht ebig hits have physical releases still
>>378833476
Who cares? Isn't the appeal of physical primarily the box anyways?

That and actually putting something in and experiencing that satisfying click, clunk and whirr of carts and discs.

You could just load the steam backup on disks if you want disks that much

The sooner we can accept that physical is dying the sooner we can move on.
I used to be like you once, but after a time I came to realize I was just buying games that had 15GB patches anyway, they don't even run of the disc, you just put it in and it works like a key. Boxart has gone to shit and manuals are dead.
Collect something else, like waifu figurines.

Eh, given the file sizes for games it's more likely that physical with installs will top digital eventually.
>>378835154
>they don't even run of the disc
Except for a few PC games that have a steam install all physical games play off of the disc. Except THPS5.
What are you talking about?
>>378833701
>Buy physical copy of DOOM
>It has one disc
>The 70+ is done through download
I have shit internet.
>>378833476
>Buy game
>Done with it; sell it.
>Buy console bundle
>Sell crappy games that came with it
Now:
>Nowhere to buy game but steam/etc.
>Can never get money back.
>Console bundles come with crappy games pre-installed.
>Can't do anything about it.
Technological advancement was a mistake.
>>378835752
>Sell crappy games that came with it
>get NMS free with ps4
>worthless
This is why you should be supporting the Nintendo Switch

You're right, they should have payed me to take that shit. The only thing worse they could have given would be a copy of Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Thing is I would have picked uncharted if they weren't sold out
