As a 80s kid I used to collect Game Boxes, I always thought that they were an Art form of their own.Meanwhile I prefer digital copies because I am fed up with all these fu**** packagings you bump into at a daily bases. But it’s still kind of funny to see these so called special editions Boxed games, because what was normal back then is sold as special. lol
Its also kind of ironic that in the late 90s Companies who distributed their games exclusively digital over the net shut down because of the lack of interest and internet.

A good edition to GOG would be Siege of Avalon which was also sold chapter wise over the Internet.

I own the complete collection on a single CDROM.
Search Amazon.

Yah, that's pretty much the same as me. I'll give retail priority, but if it is substantially cheaper on GOG then I'll buy it on GOG, and if it is extremely cheap on Steam (not more than €5) then I'll buy it on Steam.

DRM and digital distribution are two criteria that lower my maximum price personally. You will never, ever catch me paying €50-60 for a digital download game, and if I see a DRM-less copy of a game on disc for €30 and a Steam download for €5, I'll go for the €30 disc every time.

I'm moving more toward buying media online and it won't be fading any time soon. I still purchase blank writable media (on sale) for physical back-ups but most of my purchases are online. As long as I am allowed to re-download my games, movies, etc I will be happy. I'd prefer them without DRM, but I'll take what I can get.

I have a big shelf with collection of over 100 games on it. It's looks great and I won't stop anytime soon. I buy a physical copy of every new game that I want. Also I love to see on what I spent my money, so I buy digital copies only when physical copy is not available.

I never would buy digital copy of book (except handbooks). I just hate to read something on tablet or monitor screen.

That's why I use an Amazon Kindle with an eInk display. It's as comfortable to read as paper - maybe even moreso because I can adjust font size and line spacing to make it even more comfortable.
Plus, batteries last for roughly two months instead of a couple of hours like in tablets.

It's also lighter than a book und easier to hold (especially if you're reading fantasy novels with 500+ pages).

Sounds great. I would love to try it, but it's too expensive for me to just try it.

Thanks, I know. I already have a copy of Siege of Avalon.
But I would buy the GoG version for no particular reason. lol

Fascinating ^^

Then there is not much effect of buying reluctantly, as long as you buy at all. Many modern games are Steam only, or Origin only, or similar service only.

A marketing rep will disagree with you. A customer who willingly buys needs little encouragement to buy again. A customer who reluctantly buys not only needs encouragement and support to buy again, but is also presents a clear present and danger of spreading negative publicity.
