i will never use subscription software nor will i pay for downloads. it just seems like its too easy for them to screw me out of my money.

So what will you do when sale of software by physical medium becomes less and less commonplace?

Independent software developers need a cheap retail solution, since people apparently dislike buying software online.

Oh I don't mind buying software online as it's often cheaper, and i'm almost guaranteed to find classic titles that I wouldn't find in the average high street retailer. But I resent my software being tied into internet dependant use for authorisation or play like some terminally ill old codger hooked up to life support (steam) why? Bandwith limits and fair use policy.  .Dawn of War 2? Ridiculous patch size. . .
 
I appreciate it's convenient for some people, just not for me. ;)

i buy software online, but not downloads. i have to have physical media that i can store and backup as needed.

i may have said this already, but not everyone has a fast connection or unlimited transfer. i know i get charged extra if i go over 4 gb. and its a 512kbit connection shared between two computers.

The day that I need to buy a dedicated land line to play new releases is the day I switch to console for life. Although saying that, isn't the new PSP rom only or something like that?
