Out of Stock Becomes a Thing of the Past
You’ll rarely walk into your local GameStop, or head over to Amazon and find that the latest Madden, Call of Duty, or FIFA game is out of stock. But when it comes to the smaller, more niche titles, physical copies can become a little more difficult to find. Whether they’re just straight up out of stock at your preferred retailer, or you’re having to scour the likes of eBay or Amazon’s other listed sellers with hiked up prices, it just doesn’t seem right that you’re missing out or having to pay more.
That’s the beauty of digital. There is no ‘stock’ per sé unless you wanna talk license keys, but even then, these don’t have the same logistical problems as shipping out another 100,000 discs all around the world. Though buying digitally is, of course, an option players have right now, the current internet infrastructure just isn’t there for people not to be waiting days at a time for a download to be complete. Hopefully, when it’s time to embrace the digital-only future, this will no longer be a concern.
