Licurg: I was referring to DD stores that sell PC games, so iTunes doesn't count. And how many games does Microsoft sell exactly on their store ?
Define a PC game first.

And the iPad is a PC, in fact it is more personal that the so much glorified desktop machine, so why would we exclude it? Because it doesn't come with a separate monitor and a physical keyboard, or because it doesn't have a mouse, or because it is made by Apple?

A "PC" can run OS X and Linux too (and BSD and whatever). There are games and DDs for OS X and Linux, shall we exclude them too?

It's so personal I can't even change / delete default apps and install microsd in it :D

So personal.

GaminggUy45: So how does the Cloud work now. Or was that just bull?

Fictionvision: "The Cloud" is a fancy way of saying dedicated servers. Hell you could say Everquest 1 was cloud based in 1999 since it had servers running all the AI for the world.

Replace "iPad" with any Android or Windows tablet. They can be easily modified to do whatever you want. Should they be excluded because they are not big, ugly pieces of crap like the desktop machines?
There was Something here. it's gone now.

Android devices are like PCs, that's true.

for windows I don't know. My friend has Lumia with Windows Phone 8 and he can't change many of the default things and can't install microsd either. It might be Nokia's limitations, not the system itself, I don't know.

Tablets, not phones. Windows tablets run either Windows RT or Windows 8, and if you don't want to use those, you can wipe the OS and use whatever you want with on them, just like with a desktop machine or a notebook.

Licurg: Still wondering, but no one told me - Is GOG now the second biggest DD site after Steam ?
I think it's the second most relevant. GamersGate has more games than GOG and might have a higher turnover, but they're not so relevant these days, a lot of newer games on there are just steam keys (even when they're also available on GOG and therefore have a DRM-free version).

Oh, I thought it would be similar, but it's not. Thanks for correction.

Although i agree with you, I am not that big of a fan of tablets. They are inferior than notebooks or Pcs in many things. I wouldn't watch a movie on a tablet unless I have to, I wouldn't listen to music, I wouldn't write anything, I don't like most of the games.

Tablets for me, are good for browsing.

Ok, you're over-thinking this...

I'm not sure GG has that many more games than GOG, they have tons of DLCs, manuals, etc. So those probably add a lot to their total catalogue.

GaminggUy45: from his twitter : More studios WILL close and you’ll see more PC and mobile games
Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

RayRay13000: snip
The amount of people saying this is one of the biggest surprises I had with all of this. I just can't understand how using discs is such a bad thing. Most of all though, it sounds like what they want is digital distribution, so why not just buy the digital version, get the discless play they want so badly, and leave the physical discs alone for everyone else.
