If in the future the Wii u is taken offline for the Nintendo super Wii or what have you. Then I can no longer replace my game for my console.
I hope IMO albeit a twisted opinion, that digital games die off in some catastrophic failure. Only because, owning something should be as simple as keeping a game on a shelf. Not keeping passwords and codes and hoping your consoles last forever.
I lost my mass effect 2 content including the dumb little Dr.pepper cap items. I had all of my passwords and ids. Yet EA and Bioware said sorry about your luck. It never showed up on my purchase history or anything. I didnt even get to play the DLC that I PAYED FOR.
I know that's biased and rude simply because I got screwed over for about 30 bucks of content. But hey my money bought me all of my games. And to everyone who looks at me wondering why I hate digital download games, all I have to say is, I may buy more XBox 360's but I'll never have to rebuy my games.
