Digital distribution is “the future of gaming” say TIGA

TIGA believe that digital distribution drives creativity and provides more opportunities for small to medium sized game developers, while becoming a second nature to consumers.

bye bye consoles, blu-rays and dvds.

FunAndGun4350d ago

that is the same thing people said about CDs when MP3s started getting hot.

funny how I can still go into Best Buy and purchase a new CD every Tuesday.

DarkBlood4350d ago

thats when you can literaly kiss me goodbye if that day ever happens

cstyle4350d ago (Edited 4350d ago )

well you better say goodbye then becuase it is gonna happen. This gen will be the last for consoles.

DarkBlood4350d ago

alot less sales will happen you cant expect alot of us to go digital when its not even fully safe to do so

they need to consider the rest of the world, not just canada *which is where im from* or america for that matter

power is in the consumers so dont be a slave to corperations

StarFox4350d ago

funny because thats what they said about blu-ray players and dvd players, hell even CD players yet i can still go to my stores and buy them.

thebudgetgamer4350d ago

Unless everyone gets decent internet without caps, not gonna happen.

dcbronco4350d ago

The cost of the download could be handled by the distributer since they no longer have shipping cost.

Summons754350d ago

won't happen. Physical will always be around digital can stay an option

Soldierone4350d ago

It will never go fully digital until gamers no longer matter to their products. People like me will never buy full retail games as digital titles, so they would lose customers. Digital might "take over" but physical will always be there in some regards.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii16d ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo16d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9016d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel198915d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus15d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha16d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno16d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan16d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno16d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198116d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn66915d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life198115d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
