Digital games are lacking a certain something. That fresh plastic smell, a manual and that feeling that the game is truly yours. It's also impossible to create a physical collection of downloadable games.
But digital distribution is also a viable alternative to the recent pay-to-play online pass system a lot of developers are implementing to combat the used game market.
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
Valve is reportedly updating its Steam platform to include a native 30-day price history feature on game store pages.
Put your trusty eyeballs to work during Steam Hidden Object Fest 2026. Grab huge discounts and free demos starting April 9 for your library.
I think we're going to see more digital distribution in the next few years.
I tend to agree with you, this could be an alternative to pay-to-play online passes. But I also think your being silly when it comes to owning actual physical copies of your games. Digital Distribution is the way of the future, you should probably get used to it.
