In Russia, they will stop selling games on discs for PC
Miscellaneous / / April 02, 2023
New releases of computer games will not be delivered to Russia on discs for personal computers. In the near future, major retailers intend to completely abandon the sale of PC games on physical media. About it write "News".
The reason for the restriction is not the sanctions and the conflict of interests of copyright holders, but the banal demand for discs - it is practically zero. Gamers are much cheaper than versions of games in digital stores than more expensive discs imported through parallel imports.
According to Izvestia's source, only 8,000 discs with PC games were sold in Russia last year. And this is only 10% of the total sales for all platforms. That is, about 72 thousand discs were sold for the PlayStation and Xbox. The difference is huge.
According to one recent study, less than 1% of all gamers buy games on discs for computers. How do you buy games? Write in the comments.
