In a sobering conversation, Matty and Cog talk about the direction our industry is trending in. Standing on the edge of the abyss, we talk about the AAA power players who are shaking off traditional game development as they chase down the likes of blockchain gaming. With NPD data showing that physical game collecting is now a niche thing even in brand new releases, are people like Matty just old people shouting at clouds?

I've kept every single physical game I've received since the NES. Love displaying my large collection and being able to see it. I played elden ring last night offline without the current patch and cheesesd the shit out of a tough boss. All things not possible with digital games

I just wanna say this is the first episode I listened to that I really appreciated because I do like physical games. I'm 100% not an Xbox guy but this is a great episode.

As a physical games collector, I really enjoyed this discussion. In the future, would you prefer the launch release of AAA games to be digital only, and then have a limited release of physical games later on once all the patches have been implemented? While it would be a bummer to have to wait a little longer for the physical disc, I think it’d ultimately be a better option for game preservation. And I don’t mind double dipping on both physical and digital releases anyways for my favorite franchises, like The Last of Us or Horizon.

I’ve also been slowly moving more towards physical, at least for classic games

I had no idea limited run was based in Raleigh. Their new store is only 10 minutes from my house. I gotta pop over there this weekend

Just subscribed last night to this patreon. I’ve been listening to DD a couple months now and I love it so much. I learned of this from Mr.Matty’s channel (which I’ve been watch for years) so I’m so glad this podcast exists and now I get bonus content! My sanity has been saved at work thank you guys! Also yeah when it comes to physical games nowadays when I buy a game that’s not on pc I go for physical especially for the switch. I love the little cases.

If it’s a game I like I buy a digital and physical version. I play the digital and keep the physical unopened.
