    I don’t know about others, but as an end user, I hates having to deal with physical media. Being able to just download any game in twn minutes is great.

    (I know that there are lots of potential drawbacks with that situation, but it’s really convenient, unless you’re in a third world country with no bandwidth, in which case it probably sucks)

      For something like a PC or main console I don’t mind it but I’ve never been one to sell or trade. Something ostensibly portable, like the Switch, that I’m more likely to take somewhere without an internet connection? Sucks.

        I admit I’ve never used a non pc platform, the deck was the closest I went to a console. I would possibly change my mind if I ever did, although it’s probably a bit late for that.

          It’s nice for retro gaming too but the original storage media is falling apart so emulation is the inevitable future.
