One of the things I wanted to talk about today is the impact digital is having across all gaming platforms. PlayStation for instance now has plans for you to be able to trade your digital games and set your prices in a marketplace of sorts. This is one of the things I discussed a few years ago when I launched this website.
It’s a step in the right direction for digital. Which is mainstream and has been mainstream for a long time now anyway. I know people like physical, but can we just admit to ourselves that with the huge patches, with nothing actually on the disc and patches you have to download anyway. It might as well be a digital copy.
I came to this conclusion a long time ago. This is why initially I was digital with my PlayStation 5 and I have continued that momentum on Xbox. It’s just more than convenience these days and the fact that it’s Sony that is acknowledging that first being the leading gaming platform. Just sets a precedent like you wouldn’t believe.
With sales now being more readily available. The costs of buying digital are going down. You might pay more on launch day. But if you find you can wait, it’s very possible you get a better deal. It’s something that I believe could take digital to the next level if what is being proposed comes to fruition.
