Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Says He Prefers To Buy Video Games Digitally

@papahefe Completely agree pal, I’m in the same boat as you.

Years of re-buying the same games over and over, trying to get ‘complete’ versions with disc, manual, box in good condition that meets my standards to only sell them again because I’m an idiot.

Moving to all-digital removed that horrible cycle for me that I was in. I’ve got a digital library of 500+ games on Series X on a 12TB drive and 1TB SD in my Switch which makes my brain so calm and happy. CFW on all my legacy consoles with digital libraries that have closed their stores. We just wouldn’t have the physical space for the amount of games I’ve bought if they were physical.

I had a friend who’s roof leaked and it destroyed his whole physical collection of N64 games… I don’t think I could handle something like that.

I went from collecting games to collecting consoles and it scratches the same itch. I still buy every new Zelda physical though which helps keeps my collecting compulsion in check…
