This was more in responce to what Sony are doing with the 2 hour trials on the PSPlus top teir.
It just made me think with console gaming moving every closer to full digital, will Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo introduce a Steam style 2 hour trial/refund system long term?.
I know some console gamers dont like hearing this but this gen is almost certainly the last full generation with a disk drive. By the time we reach the end of this gen digital buying will probably be around the 95% range i'm sure, hell Xbox is already almost at that level with some games already.
Do you think after this gen, doing a Steam style system is the 'only' war forward for digital only consoles. I certainly can see a lot of gamers grumbling if PS6/Xbox 5 launch digital only and there is no Steam style 2 hour system in place.
In fact wasnt the main reason Steam brought in the 2 hour refund system because of European law?. Maybe a Steam style system will HAVE to be implemented on digital only consoles going forward.
Its certainly a good thing for consumers, anyway you look at it.
