Firstly, says who? I'm not aware of downloadable games requiring constant online access any more than disc-based games. The most popular download service requires a single online activation. Actually, the most recent game to require constant internet access was Assassin's Creed 2, as far as I know, and access was required of the disc version as well as the downloadable version. I'm not sure why you say downloadable games require constant online access more than disc-based games do.

Command and Conquer 4. You have no idea how much I want to see the end of the Kane/Tiberium saga, but what's the point in playing if I can't get new units just because my internet cut out? Hell, even the CEO (I believe it was the CEO; one of the bigwigs, anyway) of EA America tweeted about how the DRM on C&C4 was pissing him off :P

Most console gamers still prefer discs over downloads - 05/07/2010 04:58:40 AM 1018 Views
For consoles, I definitely prefer discs. I can take it to a friend's house, not fill up my harddrive - 05/07/2010 05:45:22 AM 528 Views

I concur that I would never pay $59.99 for a game download. - 05/07/2010 03:08:29 PM 580 Views

Unsurprising. Console games are supposed to be portable. *NM* - 06/07/2010 12:58:30 AM 250 Views
I like downloads, but I'm an extremely casual gamer - 06/07/2010 01:16:23 AM 593 Views
I never said gamers don't prefer discs. I just said it's not the plastic that they like. - 06/07/2010 01:50:08 AM 582 Views
