I know people drive sales of digital media because of convince, hell I have bought a few movies digitally myself for this reason. However with the videogame industry you are truly right. You are dropping 60/70 bucks so that Microsoft, Bethesda, or whoever, can just yank these games from their platform for no reason. You are then left with nothing, maybe a backwards compatibility release on the next platform, but guess what, your buying that shit again.

It is truly baffling the lack of foresight, with clear examples of this issue such as Nintendo's shops closing, and psn manipulating of backwards compatibility hardware over the years of PS3.

Saddens me greatly.
