A huge reduction in price could come with digital delivery if the game companies decided to cut out the retailer and deliver directly. Knowing that in most specialty markets the mark-up is between 25% and 50%, this means aion kinahAlso with digital delivery you should be able to re-download a copy at any point in time. This is assuming that you keep and can find your licence key, download key or whatever other authentication method the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] buy supplier uses. You would then not have to worry about your little brother or you kids getting a hold of the original CD or DVD and destroying it.
The last big benefit of digital delivery is the fact that once a game goes gold, it can be downloaded. Currently once a game is deemed ready for release it still needs to be pressed, packaged and shipped. This takes an cheap aion kinah average time of one to two weeks. Not a whole ton of time, but which gamer likes waiting those 2 weeks to get there hands on that new game they have been reading about for the last 2 years!
All of the above would be really nice benefits, however the biggest one (price savings) is not really guaranteed. The game companies may like the savings and decide to pass on only a tiny percentage of them to the public and help raise their profits by keeping the rest. There are several disadvantages that spring immediately to mind. No more game store browsing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], no packaged goodies (books,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maps, etc), cuts out people without high-speed access and loss of jobs.
I don’t know about you, but one of my favourite things it to go to Best Buy or Future Shop (being from Canada) and browsing the games. I know you can do all this electronically online, but it’s the same as digital books, it’s just not the same. There is something to be said for being able to pickup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], handle and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] look at a new game. Browsing the internet for game information just isn’t the same as picking up that shiny new box.
One of the other things that would be lost with the move to digital delivery would be the manuals and bonuses that we sometimes get with game purchases. Some games would be unaffected by this, for example the average first person shooter does not need really need a manual, while other games could be drastically affected. The average real time strategy or simulation game has a huge manual with tons of instructions. Sure these would be printable from the download, but it just isn’t the same. Would you rather look at either a computer screen or a printed copy, or a bound book on glossy paper? I know where my vote it.
