"Disc-based games will be around forever," GameStop CEO Paul Raines tells Fortune. "The market has seen physical music sales down 50% from its peak and physical movie sales down 60% from its peak, but even in a doomsday scenario, disc-based games will be around for a long time. I see a complimentary business where we sell discs plus download like the current console mode. Virtual reality games will also likely follow this model." Thanks GamesIndustry.biz.

the real question here is:
"what's the last disc-based game you've bought?"
for me, i *think* it was LOTR:Conquest back in 2010 or so, only cause it didn't have a digital release. Also StarCraft 2

The answer is: "I can't frakkin' remember!!!"
I can.... Deponia That was early 2012 and the only reason was that it was literally not available anywhere else.
I'm not positive but I think it was Age of Conan.

GameStop and other content providers will need to step up and put a stop to data caps for home ISPs if this is the direction he thinks they are staying. 250 gigs a month for some people.. and you think with as much media as we all consume, we aren't going to hit that cap?
people hit 30 gig in one game download.
