Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 – there are other games? A reader argues that many of the problems in the games industry are caused by gamers not being willing to try new games and insisting on digital over physical purchases. The potential decline in gaming is in big part due to gamers, in my opinion. I know, I know not a controversial statement at all, but hear me out. A lot of people who play games just play the same game, or newest iteration of it, each year.
Shouldn’t it be the other way around since the digital version is cheaper for the publisher? Even with recent Black Friday sales I saw way better discounts on physical versions of recent games than digital. If all physical games stopped being released, publishers would have less incentive to discount their digital games due to lack of competition and so all gamers would end up losing out.
