Games have changed a lot over the past few decades. They do not let us get bored, and they are gradually moving to digital format. Now, to play, it's enough just buy Sony Playstation 4 or any another console and, using cloud services, choose a certain game for yourself. It can be downloaded in seconds without bothering to buy discs or tapes.
What else can we expect soon and should we put up with it?
Complete disappearance of physical media
Take-TwoInteractive President Karl Slatoff believes that very soon we will forget about physical media. After all, users are buying games on discs less and less, thanks to access to the global network and the ability to download new products.
True, one cannot in any way deny the fact that some gamers are still trying to purchase shooters on physical media. Therefore, modern companies are in no hurry to completely say goodbye to these already slightly outdated technologies.
There are other reasons that do not allow manufacturers to go digital in full. Even their 3D content is also released on disc, which allows them to reach a larger audience.
What are the restrictions?
According to experts, digital content is a significant step forward. But it has some limitations to keep in mind.
- Loss of copyright. By creating a digital game, it is difficult for a manufacturer to control its appearance for download on pirate sites. As a result, exclusive graphics, music, or storyline become less exclusive and less exclusive.
- Licensing. It is much more difficult for digital games to obtain licenses than development on tangible media. For example, Deadpool has already had its license refused twice. But a copy of it on disk is quietly released.
- Download restrictions. Basically, ISPs impose download restrictions. This is due to the speed of the Internet connection, which does not always show good results. Therefore, many gamers simply cannot afford to download a "heavy" game. Their only way out is material carriers.
But what are the advantages of numbers? Now you do not need to constantly carry game discs with you. One of your console will be able to accommodate several dozen shooters, depending on the size and memory. You will have a whole library of games that you can use anywhere.
The transition to digital is inevitable. We may not put up with this, but digital content offers many benefits and allows you to entertain even more comfortably.
