For me it depends on the type of game. For Mario Kart or Smash on 3DS, I prefer the digital copies so I can have them easily accessible everywhere. For consoles, I tend to buy the physical copies, unless there's a great deal for the digital ones. I wouldn't mind switching entirely to digital if they implement a system of a digital library like Steam on PC, where your games aren't tied to a particular system.
@Platypus101 I haven't yet, but I might get it only for The Fall, since I already own every game except Woah Dave! and Moon Chronicles (which doesn't interest me much). So I was waiting until next Tuesday when they'll announce the other games coming, but yeah I'll surely get it and give the extra codes to family/friends.
@Platypus101 That's perfectly fine! And yes supporting underrepresented people is a charity, but the point is not every organization may be worthwhile for everyone and that's not a sign of racism/sexism. For example, I would much prefer give to an organization that encourages women and minorities in the political sphere than in computer sciences, so for me Code.org isn't that important. It's just that racism and sexism are very serious offences, and in the long run, using such harsh claims to describe someone's opinion when nothing was meant to be offensive undermines the real problems in people's mind.
@Platypus101 It's not an opinion, you're attacking his. This organization is important for you? That's perfect! It's not for him? That's perfect too! No need to point fingers and claim racism/sexism where there's no offence. And you being a minority or not has nothing to do with this argument. And about dev support, when you buy a game at full price on eshop for example, you're not giving 100% to the developper, you're paying the publishing rights, a part goes to the shop on which you bought it, etc. It's no less real to support devs on Humble Bundles than buying the games full price.
@Platypus101 Stop with the sexist/racist argument, there's nothing wrong with what he said. Clearly (and understandably) for him Code.org is not as important as a charity for, let's say, preventing ebola or having access to clean water. So what, because you don't find this organization worthwhile, you don't have the right to be part of that offering and freely give your money to whoever it may please you? Just stop with the rhetoric.
