Google's Stadia...Thoughts?
So I'm going to leave this here. Don't really know how I feel about this. Maybe a push to be the first option in the next 10 years? Idk.

No, I do digital now. But at least with digital it is on your console regardless of connection. Most single player games can be played. Streaming absolutely nothing can be played without a connection.

Keep in mind that even hard copies can be shut down if the dev wants it. Unless you never connect to the internet

It's not that I worry about it, it's that I've actually had it happen to me.
I buy games and music on discs, period. I don't like digital downloads at all, that's just my preference. |

Hear you. I'm opposite, have spent $$$ on hard copy that got scratched and ruined. House rule now is it's soft copy. Haven't been to Game Stop in years.

GameStop is such a joke. $5 of for a used copy? Sorry I'll spend the extra $5 so the devs get the money and not that crap organization.

Yeah though back in the day they were relevant for us. Steam (Valve) rules the show. PS subscription is cheap. Xbox sub too.

No way the U.S. Internet infrastructure can support this. Not to mention, even if everybody had a wire in their house that sent information at lightspeed, your ISP would throttle you anyways and make you pay through the nose: they already do that for your video streaming so what makes Google or anyone think they're going to let people eat up bandwidth to play video games? So you'll end up paying more for your Internet than if you simply bought the hardcopy.

I've literally never had a game get scratched. I take care of my games. My kids don't play games, so I've never had to worry about them.

By the way, I decided to play a bunch of remasters on PS4 that I never fully finished on PS3. I bought them used at GameStop and then paid for DLC. So the devs still got my money.
