Fucked around and got 2 street art chewbaccas today!

It's only your problem if you care about what games get made and which don't. Based on the fact that you play Click Heroes, I'd say you're not worried about that, so carry on.

How do you make comments like this, then buck government legislation on business and suggest boycotting g and similar spending by consumers for consumers to get what they want out of industry?

Clearly he wants more physical games and he spends accordingly and yet here you are chastising him for take your advice from previous threads.

Way to miss the point entirely.

Adding the "console" in there completely changes the scope of the discussion. Hell, even on the physical side, the residual value of a game can be hugely negatively impacted by not paying extra for XBL/PS+ for example.

Oh right! With GOG and Humble things change instantly. I can happily be responsible for proper storage of things I actually own. I mean, I still won't give Ubisoft $50 for Far Cry, because it's DRM-ed to the nines and I don't have a mouse the game is happy with, but for the right game I'll cheerfully wander into the $25-$30 range for PC. DRM-free changes everything, and who wants to switch out discs in a PC all day long anyway? Physical media is all about the consoles.

This is complete nonsense.
You obviously have internet access, so if you can't be bothered to connect your console to it, that's your problem.

This may come as something of a surprise to you, but I'm actually more informed on my house layout, the model of Xbox 360 I own, and where my router is than you are.

You can't be serious. You connect the thing once, download whatever isn't already on there, transfer licences if necessary, and that's that.
Your big problem with downloadable content is the equivalent of complaining about physical games being in the attic. It's a non-issue.

Maybe he isn't aware the license transfer tool exists?

Sticking to the comic example, if you buy a digital comic, the money is going to IDW, DC, Marvel, etc.

In return for a pdf file. Hooray digital!

edit: I strongly suspect your local business example is a small minority these days. Most vintage stuff is being bought from re-sellers over the internet.

Digital has no soul to me. The feeling of going into a book or comic store (the smell of a comic store!), thumbing through the issues in the boxes and on the shelves - all that is lost. It's just not the same.

In return for a pdf file. Hooray digital!

So you're speaking from a position of complete ignorance. While I'm not surprised, I'm glad you made it so blatantly obvious.

[Fe 26]

He is correct in the gist of it, lord assburger.

Unless you have a printing press and you're printing out your own comics from the comic files.

This thread is ridiculous. You're all ridiculous.

Filling checklists makes me feel satisfied and I like Star Wars noises, so I'll keep laughing at this "fill a list and we'll play a Star Wars noise" app. My name's RAREJPEGS if you want to be Card Buddies!
