well even mainstream stuff is going digital download.
Last week my friend and me went shopping for games and stuff.
A lot is on steam or is downloadable online.
if there is a cd or dvd, it contains the basics to get the game running right.
However in most cases the stuff if its on cd if you buy it is total
crap because the devs ant you to buy the rest of the stuff as dlc online.
More and more of the games are going online.
And a lot are consoles now or mobile.
in the local stores we check out the pc game stuff is ner 0 so I
think the fixed media is becomming more and more out dated.
And what is there is only for those of us to run the game with the basics.
The game has a basic offline mode but the story is really crap its
meant for those to get used to the controls.
Most games want you to go online to go against real people.
The age of the cd is on the way out.
For us blind gamers, we havn't got fully started yet.

Hi,
Actually, it wouldn't take building an accessible console. We just
need to find an economical way to make selling game's on disc
profitable for commercial game developers. The main reason companies
such as Draconis no longer ship their game's on CD is because it costs
a lot of money to do, and there is not enough interest in buying
game's on CD or DVD to make it economical for VI game developers to do
it instead of downloads.
The main reason ESP, Adora, now Draconis could do that say 10 to 15
years ago is that most people were on dial-up internet and it was
worth the customers time to just order a copy on disc since a large
game or several games took too much time to download. Now with the
rise of high-speed internet via cable and dish there is less desire or
a need to wait days for a copy of said game to come in the mail when
they can download it, order it, and have their key in a matter of a
few minutes. Thus selling games on physical media such as ours is
commercial suicide because there is not enough interest or desire to
pay more for games on CD when they want it via a quick and easy
download.
Cheers!
