Do y'all have your digital games added to your collection list on this site?

<< < (5/8) > >>

Cartagia:
Yes.  I find it extremely helpful to have a full catalog of the games I have available to me.  It mostly helps in the prevention of duplicate purchases.

bikingjahuty:
No, because I don't actually own the digital items I purchased. I know Steam and various other services have ways you can trade in digital titles to get discounts on newer ones, but this is simply a gimmick used by these services to get you to buy more games that you otherwise may not have bought. I can take the HDD out of my computer and post in on ebay for $1000 just because it has hundreds of old PC games on it. They are files and regardless of how I obtained they are little more than IPs that I do not own, nor do they have any value.


With that said, I do consider something owned if I own an actual physical copy of a digital game, even if I don't have a way to run the physical version of the game. I've ran into this situation with several older PC games I own the big boxes for, but I guess regardless of whether or not I can get it running, or if there is a digital version optimized for newer OSes, I still technically own it and it is a part of my collection.

To me tracking digital games would be the same as tracking pirated games, they are very similar except a pirated game is worth more to you...

Can you tell I hate digital games?

I came here to post this but someone beat me to it.

aliensstudios:
Yes I do. It's a feature on this site, might as well use it.

kypherion:
Haha, yes. Most of my games are digital, but I'm working on buying physical ones instead.
