The End of $60 Games?
costi:
And that's probably the only benefit of digital distribution...
Havoc10K:
I think the OP is right, the 60$ games is coming to an end, we should welcome the 70$+ games now that will look better but will be much more crap.
All hail HD Games!
They look High Definition, the highly define the looks are more important than actual gameplay and plot!
WE WANT MORE CRAP!

Nah, even full price games tend to have more flexible prices on Steam. Though Amazon often matches their sale prices. But traditional retailers retain high price points a lot longer usually, and have sales far less frequently.

I don't know about that. Not having a clutter of boxes to move everywhere is usually a good thing for me. Granted, I haven't moved in a few years and I seem to be more stable now, but historically I used to have to lug those things everywhere.

The biggest benefit to digital distribution, outside of greater democratization of the industry, is that you're guaranteed access. For instance, I had the physical copy of FF7 stolen from me 3 or 4 years ago along with all my other PSX game. The chances of me reacquiring a physical copy, without incurring some absurd expense with an online retailer, well -- holy grails are more ubiquitous -- but a few minutes on PSN and there it is.
I'm hoping digital distribution will ultimately lead to increased access to rare or regional content. As someone who's enjoyed quite a number of Japanese exclusive releases and waited painstakingly for certain titles to enter the North American market, this appeals to me.
