Do we need to go back to buying hard copies of our games?

[Zoltan]

Just seam that Steam is falling apart. Now they are deleting content from our libraries.

What will be next? Publishers buying out games so they can delete them from our Libraries for marketing purposes?

Shame on you WB for getting this started.

Doubt we can go back to hard copies. Developers/publishers love digital too much to take a step back and honestly, so do I. You would be very hard pressed to get enough people to agree to not buy games to pushed the issue.

My turn.

WB Adultswim is being removed.

There's no such things anymore, anyway. At least for PC games.

well i find it odd that games went from crappy 750mb cd's to 5 gig dvd's and now they just all wanna do online download, it would be super easy to sell games on sd cards, they are like 1 or 2 dollars a piece now, even nintendo is cheaping out and digital selling most games, its really hurt the second hand market.

online gaming has ruined the 3rd party sale scheme, any time i get a game that doesn't have a online or platform lock i am sure to back it up on a SD card or USB Stick for safe keeping , someday maybe when i get a new windows 12 computer i will load some old games up and see if they even work.

it doesn't matter. Even if they stop selling the games on steam they aren't removed from people who already bought them. Your question makes no sense.

If you already own the game, then it is attached to your account and you can download it again at any time, even after it is removed from the Store. Others just can't buy a copy.

You're misinformed. Those games are being delisted from the store, not removed from libraries.

They'll still be in your library, even after being removed from the store, provided you already own them.

From shop, not from your own personal library.

You don't understand how it works, Its being removed from sale because thats what the owner wants. If they were being sold physically then the physical copies would also be removed. Any previously purchased copies stay whether its digital or physical.

The publisher is pulling/shelving the games, the Dev(s) aren't really wanting it, but at WB's whim.

Iirc, a few of them are putting their games out for free just to get the games out there now.

I still am for console games. For PC I was until 2008 and only because they stopped being sold that way.
