So if the sequel to your favourite game of all time was too big to fit on one disc, had been in development for 10 years, and had spent all of the developer/publishers money getting it out, and they opted to make it require a download as well as the disc, and the game was going to be your favourite game of all time, never to be beaten……you’d prefer they go out of business and never make another game?
I mean, they don’t HAVE to go out of business, i’m just saying i wouldn’t buy the game if i knew upfront that the game wasn’t on the disc. It’s not that i never buy digital games, but i usually never buy them full price, if i do it’s usually on pc, and even then it’s rare.
I’m not sure what else you want me to say, i’ve said my piece. I can’t feel bad about every company that goes under because i didn’t buy something from them, otherwise i would be living under a bridge. I don’t want to be at the mercy of the one single storefront that exists on playstation going forward, so i won’t be buying those consoles anymore.
Wait, i’m confused now. Have we been talking purely about multi-disc this entire time? Cause if so, there aren’t many games that even need this, and usually games that are big enough to need 2 discs are made by companies that can afford it, like rockstar and square enix.
If they screw me over then no i don’t want them to make more products, i can live without.

That’s cutting off your nose to spite your face.

An extra 5% in costs is often the difference between a company existing or not.

I’m saying that it is often, if not always, not financially feasible to do a multi-disc release.
