I just saw Call of Duty Ghosts Digital Hardened Edition on the Microsoft Store and it is still going for $99.99. At least with physical games when they go down in price they stay down in price until they become rare.

Digital just means off or on right? The difference between discrete and continuous I guess.

Not everything is digital so there is going to be a lot of confusion

I supported all digital when the main digital outlet was Steam because it had lower prices. Nowadays, capitalism has degraded so much that even digital games are priced as high as physical even though distribution costs are virtually nonexistant.

Thanks to digital sales Ive never had as many games as I do now. Of course I imagine sales wont be as nice when physical ceases to exist, but who knows when that is

People still want this and learned nothing after what just happened with Nintendo and Sony.

Forget the high prices, digital leaves you entirely at the whim of the company.

I don't buy physical games because of space + I don't need to bring all the games with me when I take my Switch on the go.

But the game cases and cartridges are tiny

Sure Nintendo doesn't have good sales but practically every other dev does.

Games are mostly very cheap. It's just that Activision treats Call of Duty like the Rolls Royce of video games and never gives a good deal on it.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6465/Call_of_Duty_Franchise_Collection/

Over $900 for the collection.

Meanwhile Master Chief Collection is $16, less than the cost of any single CoD title.

Maybe things will change once Microsoft takes the reins with their buyout of Activision but I don't think that's been finalized yet.

I remember but I've never liked digital because my consoles could hold like 3 games. PC is different.
