Comment what is your return on investment? (Score 3, Interesting) 189

not like you can play any game on the first day anyway

everything is virtualized to the point where they support average players months after release and not the day of release and idiots not only pre-order the games, they change the store country to play it the second it goes live somewhere in the world.
