I assume this will be sacrilege for many of you, I apologise in advance.
About to move again, and packing up boxes of games I haven't touched since I unpacked them a couple of years ago, i'm wondering to myself "Why am I keeping these?" Especially now as GoG's catalogue of games have hit critical mass and Steam's doing it thing.
If I do want to play, say, Giants: Citizen Kabuto again, am I going to reach for that boxed copy that's 90% air and try to install of possibly faulty phsyical media, or will it be easier to throw a couple of dollars at GoG and download a version that's going to work straight away? And if so, why keep the box at all? Same goes for the infinity engine games, and a bunch of other things i've got sitting gathering dust. Maybe I should just turf/sell/give away the lot and buy them all online now available at a downloads notice, or even on a Hard Drive somewhere.
Anyone done this, did it feel good, or was it a poor idea badly executed?
