Please re-release Doom 3 for current gen consoles for those that did not play it on the PC.

digital distribution will never take off due to IP laws. If you cant burn the CD you bought online and play it whenever you wanterd, you will always end up having people preferring a store's hard copy.

No online store, including apple will last 10 years guaranteed. And by law they could close down their servers the next day after you purchased a game, and you'd be SOL.

Good stuff there. I agree with him on most of it. I disagree with digital distribution. He is a smart businessman, I just disagree with him on that.

I don't see it this next gen. ISP capping and unavailability of broadband will nullify it.
