If this were to change, Nintendo and other companies would possibly get more purchases from me and potentially at full price. Since Nintendo tends to make their data management a bit of a black box compared to other services, I only buy digital games from Nintendo if I can't get them anywhere else. At this rate, I figure that I should be able to maximize my play time and lose minimal amounts of money if my purchases are ever pulled off of the service.

In addition, I tend to prefer distribution channels that put the user in better control of their downloaded data (such as GOG and Steam). This is why I only very rarely buy a digital game for more than 25% of the regular price. The heck is this fanboyism over a medium anyway? What are people afraid physical will go away or something? Delete It just means the world isn't perfect and everything has its negatives and positives. Which even in this PXZ case people could redownload the game, and even then if you really wanted to be super paranoid could even back up multiple copies of the game throughout multiple devices or physical media.ĭoes that mean physical sucks? No. I am positive if you find all the "incidents" that cause physical media to malfunction or cease function you'll find waaaaay more examples of that than digital media that publishers take down that if purchasers had could never get back again if they ever lost it. I don't care how responsible you think people need to be in regards to handling video games, I can guarantee crap happens to physical media all the time, disc scratches from all types of various circumstances, a damaged chip from a cartridge for inserting it wrongly, short circuits on the chip of a cart many many many things. (FORGETTING ALL THAT) The fact that it is a petty excuse for the argument at hand was my entire point.

On top of that, not all Dogs are equal, some are less prone to training and intelligent behavior than others even among those of the same breed. Also it was literally my very young little brother that switched the games and left one un attended and exposed shortly before we left to grab a bit in another room.Įven considering that, you act like Dogs are freaken Pokemon, reality check, real animals are unpredictable even considering being well trained. In essence I get to be more negligent with digital with less of a negative trade off in that regard. Except that I literally had the Dog a whole of 2 weeks when it happened and the fact that I can't leave a game top of a drawer for two minutes with an untrained dog means that in itself is a negative to physical's convenience.
