I have no idea how the comments got twisted there, but this game just went from maybe to sold if it's free online.

I was just about to bring up that point that shyguy made. Digital distribution does not have a zero cost to it. There is also a bandwidth cost that data centers would have to payout to transfer it from the company to your console, energy cost to maintain those servers 24/7, in addition to what I will call digital inventory costs" to allude to what Jon said about physical games having to be sold to clear up space. While I agree that technology is always improving from data storage to trafficking software for the world wide web and beyond. Data is still tied to real world constraints of storage. And storage is not infinite. One harddrive takes up a finite space in a data center that must be linked to other data centers to insure that the data is not simply lost to the void if disaster happens.
