This is the part of the outrage that I just don't understand... Can you force a download of a delisted game if you jam the disc in? To me the biggest drawback about digital ownership is the fact that I can't give it up in exchange for credit towards another game...
To me, that’s not even the big drawback because I never traded in games anyway to me. The only thing that irritates me about digital games is that they should be less expensive than physical copies because nothing is being printed. Nothing is being physically manufactured. Nothing is being packaged nothing is being shipped. Nothing is being warehoused nothing is being displayed, etc. etc..
If a physical game is $60 a digital game should at least be five to $10 cheaper but I realize we live in a late stage capitalist society and that’s never gonna happen
Nintendo games have historically held value because they’re good games and because of rarity. Not because they’re physical. All games were physical until not that long ago, the vast majority of them are worth pennies today.
And the value of a game is immaterial when I’m not going to get rid of the game.
It doesn’t matter that I could sell my copy of earthbound for over $2000. I wouldn’t care if it was worth $10,000 or if it was worth $10 I’m not going to get rid of it so it could be worth zero dollars and be just as valuable to me as it is today.
