Digital Sales Change Gaming
February 9, 2010
The days of heading down to your local Gamestation to buy the latest release from EA may soon be over. Statistics reveal that digital games sales are increasing at a great rate. Purchasing new games online is pushing to replace physical shop purchases. This is shown by the news that Pandemic Studios (purveyors of fine shrinkwrapped games) have announced that they have let 200 jobs go, whilst a few short miles away Nexon Corp.’s U.S. division announced a 12% increase in 2009.
What this means to a gamer is simple – access to games is becoming increasingly convenient. Although new releases of major games might lead to a strain on bandwidth, this can be the only negative of getting immediate digital access to the games you want!
