    This is the part a lot of these corpo huggers are missing. I’m rarely willing to pay the full $60 for a game, let alone the hundreds some go for because of induced scarcity. Let’s be honest, there’s rarely a real reason for a game to not be available digitally even if they don’t want to keep print discs. GoG is made specifically for this kind of thing.
