    He didn't say DD games suck. He just doesn't like when games are only distributed digitally. I highly doubt he'd be petty enough to not buy a great game just because it's only avaliable on PSN.

    Also I'm too abrasive/stubborn to let the matter go. :3

    And he's right, they shouldn't be. Which is all the more frustrating considering the situation.

    How many (physical) copies would you actually need to sell in order break even with the costs of running a printing press?

    Apparently more than 5000.

    And considering how niche this title is, that's probably a lot.

    If Atlus can sell 200,000 of a puzzle game with a dating sim element, surely XSeed can sell 5000 copies of a plain old horror game.

    You'd be surprised.

    At any rate, if you look at the numbers, it's very clear to see that digital distribution works. Look at Steam -- Release the same game on Steam that you release on disc, and it will outsell the disc copy by a factor of 10, guaranteed.

    You and I are dinosaurs in this digital age, my friend. It's an age of Steam and smartphones. Physical games are vanishing, and digital is taking over... and people are buying digital without ever looking back. It's sad, but you really can't deny it. And when the difference in cost between a PSN-only title and a UMD title is so enormous, we have no real choice but to give in to the call of the digital age. We try not to do it very often... but sometimes, it just has to be done.

    If you want to see more physical releases from us... then buy our games, and tell everyone else you know to do the same.

    Physical releases cost money. And we're not exactly overflowing in cash.

    -Tom
