by Sean "TheOrange" Corse, filed in Famicom Dojo Podcast, Podcasts on May.20, 2011

Sean’s bad experience trying to reauthorize downloadable content for his new Xbox 360 turns into a horrifying realization that modern downloadable games will not leave behind any artifacts for future generations. Is retro game collecting in trouble? Assuming we all survive the more literal apocalypse on 5/21/2011, that is…

�As a collector, I have a lot of the same concerns and feelings that Vinnk brought up. Having a physical product is very important to me, and I typically only use DLC to augment those games I own, or when I can’t get a physical copy such as Xbox Indie Games (side note: have you guys checked out Protect Me Knight?).�
My hope is at some point we will see more collections of games that are released on XBLA and PSN on physical media. There is still a large enough segment of the market not online with their consoles right now for publishers to go this route.
It makes we wonder how I will feel about gaming when it inevitably goes completely online. Maybe by then I will just be the grumpy old nerd that spends his time cleaning his game tapes and telling his grandkids about the days when you had to physically touch a “controller” to play games.
Great show guys, looking forward to more.

�I hate buying anything digitally. �I am also a collector and rather have physical carts or discs. �I highly doubt in 20 years I can pull out COD Black Ops and�re download�my map pack on the Playstation 20.

I agree. �But hopefully there will be some like “Black Ops Retro Collection” that will have all that content in it. �At least I hope. �Otherwise we really are loosing some of our video game heritage.
