    As I recall, I told him that he was probably right when he said that. I certainly would prefer to release everything physically... but sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Like I said to Sagadego, just remember that we're always fighting the good fight, and trying to do everything we can to release games physically whenever possible. But due to circumstances beyond our control (and numbers which we're legally unable to share, unfortunately), that's becoming less and less possible with each passing month.

    The whole of gaming is going digital-only. That is the direction where things are headed, and I don't think we're the only ones affected. We're tiny and have razor-thin margins on everything we do, so we're affected more now than a lot of larger companies... but I truly doubt we'll be alone for long. You physical game collectors had best stock up while you can, because I think pretty soon, physical releases will be in the minority.

    It's a shift I don't much care for, but ultimately, it's the games that matter. As long as I can still play awesome games, I don't really care if I can hold their boxes in my hand or not. I'm paying for the experience -- the box and cartridge/disc are just bonuses.

    It's statements like this that make me worry for the future of Xssed, and niche localizations in general.

    I don't want a game crash, I just don't understand why XSEED is going DD-only, while Aksys and Atlus are releasing niche-r games physically.

    Yeah, and then Mario can save gaming all over again. Mario never has on-disc DLC!

    Atlus has much richer parents than XSEED does, and publishes a lot less niche Japanese games. The only truly questionable game Atlus has picked up recently is Grownlancer. Persona, and Sting games have established audiences in the west.

    As for Aksys, they be crazy-crazy. But even then, they have done a few digital-only releases too.

    If NISA is making more money, it's because they're doing anime, and Aksys, because they have one big IP on their hands. XSEED could have both, and I still get the feeling that the games would still be coming DD-only.

    Why? The crash in the early 80s happened because game quality was abysmal, while these days we have quality, quantity, and at least outside the retail console market, variety. I can't see how another crash would realistically improve things.
