I want to replay a game on Steam, but the product key has already been used on my PC I had almost 7 years ago. So apparently with PC gaming, you don't own your games. You pay for a stupid "license" instead. Yeah, I'll take a physical copy that I can install on as many damn systems as I want over this BS any day. No, I will NOT buy your stupid game twice because you think you're entitled to continual sales from it. You had your run, I paid you the money, now the game should be mine forever. That's how products work.

With the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if console games are digital only.
That's certainly where publishers are trying to take the industry. Gamestop stock continues to dwindle, and digital sales on every platform keep going up. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Probably also why piracy is so rampant in the PC gaming world. Because of BS policies, DRM, etc.
Tip to game devs if you don't want to look like a tool: Don't try to control anything beyond the initial sale. You deserve only ONE purchase of your game per copy, just the same as movies, books, and every other industry with an after market. Stop being money grubbing dweebs and people won't steal your shit. --- Reading: The Illustrated Man "Second-hand Skin" coming late 2017. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I could buy one copy of The Last of Us and then go install that on every system in a five mile radius. Because I own it. Not a "license", an actual game. I would agree with you more if the full game actually came on the disc these days. But in the long term, once online support for your PS3 or PS4 goes off, you will literally never be able to get a copy of the full game again without some kind of custom patch/workaround to download the updates from something like a torrent site. Massive day 1 patches and constant updates means that the retro gaming scene for the current and previous generations will simply be incomplete with the physical copies. Modern trends have rendered actually having the physical copy meaningless, since ass tons of the game and bug fixes come in patches. --- <insert sig here> ... Copied to Clipboard!

why are you not using the same steam account on your PC that you had 7 years ago? I am. EA's DRM makes it so you can only register the product key to one PC. It's not tied to an account, it literally expires and ceases to work as a code after so many installs. --- Reading: The Illustrated Man "Second-hand Skin" coming late 2017. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Even ignoring that all physical copies sold today will only be able to provide a buggier, incomplete experience compared to how the developer wanted it, physical games sales are going down and digital sales are going up. If this generation lasts as long as the last one, don't be surprised if some of the next gen consoles are announced to be digital only.

As somebody who likes to own retro games, the whole patch thing really cheeses my onions.
