lets see I can order from a place like amiami, wait a long time for it to come and spend more money, Or less money with a platform that has sales that go crazy low and you instantly have access to it when you buy it.
I do like having physical copies of games, but it costs more for basically just a box with maybe a small book. All of the games I bought physical and imported I have to buy on steam anyways again, due to the steam releases. so basically it is steam or nothing. There just aren’t that many other places.
Almost all the drm free things I get nowadays are from humble bundle, but part of it is the devs don’t want drm free because it makes it easier to just give it away.
I would still be buying vns just not as many due to price and ease of access. I think patches are odd because you just get them for free, and buy a bunch of stuff you can’t even understand… and if the game is old it might be tricky to find for a fair price, unlike going to steam store and waiting for a sale. Steam is better than the old method for sure, for both parties (buyer and seller)
oh yeah the drm sucks for steam compared to the cd version; because playing little busters with the cd in your drive is much better lol.
