You know you keep sounding more and more like a console gamer all the time. You want console exclusive games, have an obsession with physical media and a hatred for DRM implementation. These are all things that console gamers tend to bring up and hold dear the most. You sure you aint one of us D?
Well, you ain't going to find Dishonored 2 PC for $20 digitally anywhere, are you? I would've bought it digitally, if it was $20 digitally. You're going to have to deal w/ Steam anyways, whether from retail or digital, these days and age - even more so true, since the whole entire game just ain't on the disc.
Also, when did console gamers on the regular (basis) download their games? If anything, that'd be recent - i.e. the last few years or so.
I've been doing game-downloads from Steam for years, since probably the first time I saw Beyond Good + Evil was $5. I'd have to look at the date purchased on my Steam account, back when DSL was a thing.
[goes to look]
August 23rd, 2008 was when I first bought BG+E from Steam for download.
EDIT:
Amen to that. Still only have base game of Dishonored 1 because I got it for $1 or something at GameStop.
Yeah, you don't know the toaster too well, do you? He's been harping on all of those things for AGES. He's no Johnny-come-lately to hating DRM and adoring physical media.
Dishonored 1 is easily worth the $1. That game was amazing.
I waited for Dishonored 1: GOTY to get cheap just to get the DLC's - and yes, the DLC's for that game were great. Bought it digitally from GameFly in July 2014 for $8, BTW.
I might not be super-fond of DRM, but I shall + will tolerate it - especially when games are on sale & not super-expensive given their timeframe of release. It's not like I replay many games, anyways.
If I really need a DRM-FREE copy or something for whatever game + whatever reason, I could just wait for it to join GOG Connect or buy it on GOG (or somewhere else it might be DRM-FREE) when it's dirt-cheap.
EDIT 2:
What might be useless for those of us who have fast Internet + no data caps (well...at least not yet anwyays), others with weak/slow Internet and/or data caps might be grateful for. They really need to find a nice+better format at retail for these PC retail games to be on for those who have data caps and/or not-so-fast Internet - like maybe regular BR-discs, BD-XL, huge-flash drives...or something.
Did they ever stop the forced-streaming for the TV-style episodes of Quantum Break? Would be nice if they ever allowed for those to be actually downloaded in full.
