My husband and I still laugh about the time I told him that if he kept playing EverQuest that day I was going to "whip the disc out the window" because I didn't know it didn't need the disc/was on the hard drive. We had been dating for a year or less and I didn't want to compete with a game, no matter how cool it was. I have always been a gamer but the dawn of online RPGs was something altogether different than my console gaming.
The only logical solution was for me to starting playing too.
Does Everquest even exist, now, as a thing you can play online? Everquest 2 seems like some ancient thing at this point (and to be fair, it barely deserved to exist in the first place)
Disks are the worst, and digital distribution is a superior system. It's a shame, though, that the system is tied to publishers and companies like Valve who make all of their money from the system. Remember when Valve made games?
Relatively ethical distributors like GOG are a start, but I feel like a co-operative distributor should be the future.
