@LordCrash88 @Evanrocknuma Precisely. What I'm getting at is there has to be an additional incentive for going digital on consoles because digital distributors on the pc are so far ahead of what console markets can accomplish. Your physical discs can't be played but they can be kept, sold, or collected. Digital games essentially are lost once you make the jump to a new console. So, since console markets cannot do what digital pc markets can, they must offer something different but equally appealing to survive.

@uglypinkmoose I agree with your price concern. I would be worried that, if consoles went digital, they would keep the prices hiked beyond that which a used game store would have sold them for.

@nyran125tk Yes, emulation is a lovely alternative when your old consoles start to cough up their plastic entrails ;)

@LordCrash88 @Evanrocknuma No, I don't mean playing old consoles but owning the titles from one console to the next. I want to be able to access digital games I purchased on the Ps3 on the Ps4 and so on.

I prefer digital, but not on consoles. In comparison to Steam, I don't foresee consoles creating a market where your games can follow you to the next generation because console hardware is unpredictable and games must be optimized around their DRM. Digital on the PC is different, because when you buy a new PC it is in your complete control to find one that will be compatible with your beloved old games. Console companies fail to see this major difference in digital goods between them and PCs

@stan_boyd @Warful @Evanrocknuma Sure, and if you read below I have explicitly said that for the benefit of his health he should find a new career path, but bashing his depression is just hateful and unintelligent.

It is fine to Criticize fish for his harmful behavior, but for Christ's sake everyone stop bashing him for getting depressed about online hate. It really does affect some people in a very real way and none of you are anyone to say otherwise.

@frylock1987 This is exactly what we should NOT be doing.

@nomadski69 My problem with his actions on that forum was that he tore apart an inspiring indie developer for no good reason. The Japanese guy wasn't working for a mainstream company, he was a freelance. That makes FISH no better than the people he speaks against who bring him and his work down. He didn't even directly answer the guy's question, he went off on a tangent. He might as well have said "You're Japanese, Japanese games suck, don't make games, they'll suck."

@jeffrobin @Evanrocknuma True enough. However, the movie certainly isn't an avenue for doing so. My biggest question with Fish, and something I'd like to further research, is what happened in the disagreement over Fez. In the film, we only have his word for it although disagreements tend to go, in part, in both directions. He seems like a couple friends of mine, actually. Good people, but they really need to find sensitive paths that wont push them beyond breaking. I just don't see him being cut out for the industry. For his sake, as I think we should be worried about his health, this cancellation is probably a good thing.
